most recognisable of the Hindu deities to those outside the faith and being the god of education and knowledge and the destroyer of pride, vanity and selfishness is of great significance and popularly worshipped by those within the faith. <br />Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated all over India, the festival is most extravagant at Mumbai and Pune. Traditionally a household affair, it was converted into a public celebration a century ago when the freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak, used it to unite the masses for the freedom struggle. Ganesh (or Ganpati as he is often affectionately called) is, after all, the remover of obstacles. At the end of 11 day festival, plaster and clay images of Ganesh, some of them 6m high, are taken from home to street mandals (shrines) and carried in huge processions to be immersed in the river.<br />The procession of Ganesh very popular Pune Festival, which features musical concerts, folk dance and village festival including bullock cart racing and wrestling. The opening ceremony presents some of the country's best musicians and dancers, and is usually held around late August or early September. <br />This festival is celebrated in honour of the birth day of  Shree Ganesh. The celebration of the God of wisdom is worshiped for ten days in houses privately and also publicly. On 10th day that is on last day of Ganesh festival is a day of processions singing, dancing and drum beating. On this day all the idols are placed either in 'Palakees' or on trucks to be escorted to the sea for immersion with music and dancing 'Lezim' and band troops. The idols are of different forms such as 'Bal-Ganesh' or 'Ganesh riding a Eagle', 'Lion' or the top of 'Snake'-(Shesh Bhagwan).<br />The trucks are decorated with flowers and colored lightings. People dance with the rhythm of 'Dholak'. The procession start from 11 a.m. and continue till late night.<br />In the year 2008 it will be started from 3rd of September to 14th of September.<br />Please see the photograph.<br />Regards,<br />Shashikumar India Pune<br />]]></description>   <pubDate>Wed, 06 Aug 2008 06:15:27 +0000</pubDate>   <author>nobody@fotothing.com (ind0098)</author>   <enclosure url="http://www.fotothing.com/thumbs/daf/dafce871b3dda8412a5add46c796a5ef.jpg" length="8024" type="image/jpeg" /> <media:content url="http://www.fotothing.com/photos/daf/dafce871b3dda8412a5add46c796a5ef.jpg" type="image/jpeg" width="550" height="413" fileSize="68566" expression="full"></media:content> <media:thumbnail width="120" height="120" url="http://www.fotothing.com/thumbs/daf/dafce871b3dda8412a5add46c796a5ef.jpg" />  <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[Lord Ganesh Festival<br />Ganesha, the Elephant-God, is probably the most recognisable of the Hindu deities to those outside the faith and being the god of education and knowledge and the destroyer of pride, vanity and selfishness is of great significance and popularly worshipped by those within the faith. <br />Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated all over India, the festival is most extravagant at Mumbai and Pune.
