Ganesh Chaturthi 2021! Reminiscing the good 'ol pre-COVID-19 days when Bollywood celebrities celebrated the festival on a large scale

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations this year, unlike the other years, have been kept minimal and centred around the home. While this 10-day long festival usually sees overcrowded temples, markets, numerous pujas, and much merry-making with friends and family, this time around, it has been replaced with virtual pujas and quiet celebrations at home with families. However, this wasn't always the case. People across the country, including celebrities, would generally take great pride in bringing home Lord Ganesh idols with great pomp and cheer. Immersing the idol was another big event. So, this year, on this auspicious occasion, let's look back at how our Bollywood celebrities often went all out to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in the pre-COVID-19 times.
