Marathi Couple Celebrating Ganesh Utsav

Excellent one hour video that helped me relive my own Ganesh Chaturti day. Informative too.

Ganeshotsava or Ganpati Festival is emotionally very close to the heart of all Mumbaikars. We have fond memories of this festival.As Expatriates in dubai we did not get all the requisite things to celebrate the festival . But That was the real fun when we all couples came together, took a day off from the Office and under the supervision of our Bhatji Mr Mandar Damle we prepared all the delicacies like ukadiche modak,Aluwadi etc .
The Main Families Involved were The Damles from Dombivali, The Pardeshis from Pune, Dighes from Thane, and off course the Kothares from Goregaon(shifted) all settled in Dubai.
We have included the Mehta Family recently.
This is the first part of the video, It shows complete picturisation of day one of the Ganpati festival.
You feel as if you are there,
please listen to Mr Damles detail explanation of all the Vidhis . Thanks and enjoy the one hour journey.

I was researching google and came across your blog, But when I saw my own video appreciated , I was overwhelmed. Many NRI appreciated it, When I first put this video I was actually nostalgic and wanted to relive the festival which is part and parcel of maharashtrian culture,
Many people only post the aartis, But The whole process is exhilirating,
Your blog is also very good , we can keep in touch with what is happening in India. Keep up the good work
