Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, along with her mother Brinda Rai and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, recently embraced the festive spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi with a visit to the GSB Ganesh pandal in Mumbai. Dressed in traditional ethnic attire, the family contributed to the vibrant celebrations honoring Lord Ganesh.
On Monday, Aishwarya Rai was seen in a graceful pink kurta set, while her daughter Aaradhya dazzled in a bright yellow kurta. The duo made their way through the bustling crowds to their car after offering their prayers at the pandal. Their presence added to the festive fervor of the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, a time when Mumbai and Maharashtra come alive with devotion and joy.
The GSB Ganesh pandal, known for its elaborate decorations and large gatherings, is a prominent location for Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in Mumbai. This year, many celebrities, including Kartik Aaryan, also participated in the celebrations, with Aaryan visiting the Lal Baugcha Raja pandal, another famous destination for devotees.
Ganesh Chaturthi, which began on September 7, is a ten-day festival that starts on the fourth day of the Hindu lunisolar month of Bhadrapada. Known also as Vinayak Chaturthi or Vinayak Chavithi, the festival honors Lord Ganesha, revered as the 'God of New Beginnings' and the 'Remover of Obstacles.' The festival is characterized by vibrant processions, intricate decorations, and the making of delicious offerings, reflecting the deep devotion and enthusiasm of the celebrants.
As the festival unfolds, the streets are adorned with colorful decorations, and the air is filled with festive prayers, music, and chants. The celebrations are a testament to the cultural richness and communal spirit of the region.
On the professional front, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was recently seen in Mani Ratnam’s epic period dramas, Ponniyin Selvan 1 and Ponniyin Selvan 2. Her involvement in these films underscores her continued presence and influence in Indian cinema, even as she actively participates in traditional celebrations such as Ganesh Chaturthi.
