I totally agree with you. These 10 days are the most vibrant days of all. The "aarti" of Lord Ganesha resounds in the entire atmosphere. And everywhere there is a sense of worship and all. The markets buzz with customers. Many people decorate their houses with various colored light strips. It's all beyond words. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all of you

@allknowing True. That's quite a valid point. It's good to see the current young generation participating in these festivals with the same vigore. This is going to help our future generations. And the tradition that has been continuing for years and years will get a promising future.
