Lokmanya Tilak started the Ganapati Sthapana in Maharshtra in 1894 with the aim to unite people from different strata of society together for a common celebration, thus was born Maharashtra's most awaited and
celebrated festival- Ganesh Chaturthi.
Even after more than a century, Ganapati is celebrated with much fanfare not only in Maharashtra but also in various parts of India.
To celebrate and salute this
spirit of togetherness in this country, Amul Star Voice of India proudly mounts Lord Ganesha on its stage this Saturday with a traditional Ganapati Stahapana by the famous Manglorian actor Isha Koppikar who is also
an ardent Ganesh Bhakt.
