GANAPATI BAPPA MORYA !!!!

It was started in pune in 1894 that lokmanya tilak initiated the concept of

the “ Sarvajanik Ganeshostav ”

The communal celebration of the festival of lord ganesha .

The 10-days festival culminates in a carnival like procession along the busy

thoroughfares of the city .

Ganesh chaturthi was being celebrated as a public event in pune since the times of shivaji maharaj in (1630-1680),the founder of the maratha empire .

In 1893 , lokmanya tilak transformed the annual domestic festival into a large , well-organized public event .

Tilak recognized the wide appeal of the deity ganesha as “the god for everybody” , popularized ganesh chaturthi as a national festival .
