The auspicious Hindu festival - Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturti or Vinayaka Chaviti, is celebrated to mark Lord Ganesh's arrival on Earth with his mother Goddess Parvati. The festival is celebrated for 10 days. Artists in Maharashtra and across India put special efforts to make the auspicious sculpture of Lord Ganesh way ahead of the festival days. Due to the prevailing situation of COVID-19, the celebrations will be low-key in India.
