Mangalore, Sep 21: A grand procession, accompanied by thousands of devotees amidst the beating of drums, was taken out from Omkarnagar, Bunts Hostel here on Friday September 21 as part of the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities.

The celebrations were organized by Shree Siddhi Vinayaka Foundation in association with Shree Ganeshostava Samithi. The festivities began on September 19.

The Ganesha idol was installed and religious rituals like Ganahoma and offerings by devotees were held.

    This year the Bunts Hostel Ganeshotsava equalled Sangha Niketan Mannagudda in Popularity. Congrats to Bunts Sangha. Every thing was well planned and the arrangements were perfect. It was nice to see politicians sitting at distance and not allowed direct participation. Otherwise it would have created some differences among organizers and adverse effect on enthusiasm of volunteers.
