Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in full swing
Ganesh Chaturthi, the auspicious Hindu festival, is celebrated by installing Ganesha’s clay murtis privately in homes and on elaborate pandals. This year, the festival will be celebrated on September 7, Saturday. The festival ends on the tenth day after the beginning when the Murti is carried in a public procession with music, dance, and group chanting and immersed in a body of water. The festival is mainly celebrated in Maharashtra.
The new beginning
Keeping with the festival tradition that celebrates Ganesha as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles, Team India embarked on a new journey following the T20 World Cup 2024 win in the Caribbean. Rohit Sharma-led India defeated South Africa in the final to end an 11-year wait for a global trophy.
Following the historic win, Team India returned home to massive fanfare. After meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, the Indian cricketers headed to Mumbai where they participated in a victory parade between Marine Drive and Wankhede Stadium.
The win marked the end of the T20I careers of Rohit, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, as well as of the head coach Rahul Dravid. The end of an era, marked the beginning of a new one as Gautam Gambhir took charge of the Indian team as the new head coach and Suryakumar Yadav took the reigns of T20I captaincy.
