Ganesh Chaturthi 2022, Ganesh Festival: Cricketers Extend Wishes On Occasion Of Ganesh Chaturthi

Cricketers extended their wishes on social media as the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi started in India on Wednesday. The 10-day festival began with the coronavirus pandemic no longer casting its shadow on the celebrations. Ganesh Chaturthi sees idol of Lord Ganesh, the god of prosperity and wisdom and a slayer of obstacles (vighnaharta), being installed in homes of the Indians and also in public pandals. People worship the God and the festival ends with the immersion of his idol into nearby river or sea. The final process is called "Visarjan".

"Wishing you all a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. Praying for happiness, good health, peace and prosperity," wrote India opener Shubman Gill.
