Bihar Celebrates Ganesh Utsav Across the State with Traditional Fervor

The Hindu festival of Ganesh Utsav, observed annually in the month of Bhadrapada, was celebrated across Bihar with widespread enthusiasm. Devotees installed Ganesh idols in homes, temples and public spaces, offering prayers and chanting traditional hymns.

In major towns and villages, streets were adorned with lights and floral decorations, while processions featuring music bands and dancing groups moved through neighborhoods. Cultural programmes, including folk dances and devotional songs, were organised by local community groups and schools.

State authorities coordinated with municipal bodies to ensure smooth crowd management and safety measures, especially at popular gathering points. Police presence was heightened in city centres to maintain order and facilitate the smooth flow of traffic during the festivities.

The celebrations underscored the communal harmony that the festival traditionally fosters, bringing together people of different backgrounds in shared reverence for Lord Ganesha.
