What special should I do for Ganesh Chaturthi this year?
I wondered days before the festival commenced. Like all the previous 4 years where I had been covering this vibrantly unique festival of Ganesh Chaturthi on my little yatra diary, I wanted to celebrate the festival this year too, together, along with all of you.
After some thinking over for a couple of days and juggling with a few random jumbled ideas, I finally settled down on the idea of posting 11 different Ganeshas, one for each of the 11 days of the festival, from 11 different Mumbai pandals... and now that the festival for the year has ended, my Ganesha sojourn on my yatra blog has left me with an incredibly intense feeling of happiness and content to cherish... oh, what a beauty and joy it has been!

Thank you very much for coming along!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all those who squeezed out some time from their schedule to join me in this divine journey. Thank you for making my darshan that much more memorable and special... My Ganesh Pandal Darshan 2015 wouldn't have been the same without you.
Wrapping up Ganesh Chaturthi 2015 with a quick recap of our Ganpati Pandal Hopping 2015:
Though it's been a wonderful experience, hopping into various Ganesh pandals and admiring the essence of this beautiful festival... I must confess, for my part, there is a little weariness too. Of blogging consecutively for 11 days and following it up with all the social media promotions... Phew!
So let me please halt my pen at this point and wrap up this journey of our virtual Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations 2015 with a quick recap. Here's presenting a collection of 12 Lord Ganesha pictures, one from each post I shared during the festival days with corresponding links to the relevant posts:
Here's wishing that Lord Ganesha pour loads of joy,
blessings and happiness on all of you,
us and me too. :-)
