Srinagar, Sep 07: Kashmiri Pandits across the world are being celebrated the Ganesh Chaturthi, traditionally known as Vinayak Tchoram, with great devotion and enthusiasm, a press release said.
This year’s celebrations began on August 7, and are being marked by grand religious ceremonies at the Siddhivinayak Ganpatyar Mandir in Srinagar and Vessu KP Colony in Anantnag, South Kashmir.
Like previous year, the Siddhivinayak Ganpatyar Mandir and the Vessu Welfare Committee have organised a Hawan (a sacred fire ritual) and Prasad distribution to mark the auspicious occasion.
These events are being held with an instrumental support from Shri Bausaheb Rangari Trust, Pune, headed by Punit Balan, who has once again provided eco-friendly Ganesha idols to the Kashmir Valley to ensure that the celebrations are environmentally responsible.
