In Karnataka, Ganesh Chaturthi is known as ' Vinayaka Chaturthi', and the festival is celebrated in a slightly different way. The tenth day or visarjan, marks the end of the festivities when the idol is carried by serpentine procession to the nearby water body for its immersion. The celebrations also include fairs and exhibitions, classical dance and music performances, poetry recitations, folk dances, theatre and film festivals. The celebrations aren’t just limited to individual households but also take place on the streets where groups of devotees set up huge pandals to house Ganesh idols on the street. Devotees bring Ganesh idols home, and host the deity for a specific period, ranging from a day-and-a-half to 10 days before immersing it in a water body. The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with utmost devotion and grandeur in the state. How the festival is celebrated across India: The 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival begins on 2 September this year.
