Ganesh Chaturthi 2019: "Ganpati Bappa Morya!' From Narendra Modi to Ram Nath Kovind, politicians wish devotees on Twitter

Ganesh Chaturthi 2019: The 10-day long celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi that honours the birth of Lord Ganesha kick-started from today (Monday, 2 September). In Maharashtra, where the festival is celebrated at a grand scale, devotees bring Ganesh idols home and host the deity for a specific period, ranging from a day-and-a-half to 10 days before immersing it in a water body. The celebrations aren’t just limited to individual households but also take place on the streets where groups of devotees set up huge pandals to house Ganesh idols on the street. While it is one of the most important festivals in Maharashtra, celebrations are held across other parts of the country as well. With the celebrations in full swing, influential leaders and top politicians from prime minister Narendra Modi to President Ram Nath Kovind among others are taking to Twitter to wish the citizens on this auspicious occasion. Check out their tweets here:
