Every evening, the home resonates with soulful Bhajans and Ganesh Aarati, drawing family, friends, and neighbours together in a spiritual atmosphere. A notable highlight of the celebration has been the active involvement of the younger generation.

Their engagement reflects a growing trend in cities, where youth are finding renewed meaning in traditional festivals, balancing modern schedules with cultural roots.
The beautifully adorned idol of Lord Ganesha, decorated with flowers and lights, has been attracting devotees and visitors from across the neighbourhood. The hosts warmly welcome everyone, serving prasad as a symbol of divine grace and togetherness.
Shweta and Anand expressed gratitude for the overwhelming participation and highlighted how the festival serves as a bridge between generations, reinforcing values of unity, spirituality, and tradition. As the celebrations move toward the Visarjan, the event stands as a testimony to how devotion continues to thrive in urban India, with the youth playing a key role in keeping cultural heritage alive.
