Every year we go to our native place in Chiplun, Maharashtra.

All the families of our relatives gather there to celebrate the

festival of Ganesh Chaturthi. The idol of Lord Ganesha Is kept
in room which is beautifully decorated by garlands and lights.
During the night everyone goes around the houses in the
village to seek blessings from the other Lord Ganesha idols.
Then, all our family members return to our house to do sing the
aarti and people come and play drums, table and few other
experiments. This goes on till 1 or 2 in the night. The next day’s
afternoon we do the final puja of lord ganesha before
immersing him in water. We take the idol to a river nearby the
house and immerse the idol in the water to bid our good byes.
Everyone then goes to the Maha Laxmi temple beside the river
to seek blessings as we only go there once a year. Everyone
returns back home, where the society’s Ganpati idol stays for 5
days and is then immersed in water. The school vacation ends
and we go back to school and our normal life.
