Titwala Ganpati Mandir is must visit on all important Ganpati tithis. Its a blissful feeling to see so many devotees, so crowded and yet have soulful darshan.

Its definitely worth taking experience of palkhi , prasad & darshan on Ganesh Jayanti.

Hi @KomalMaru,

I really enjoyed watching your videos, thanks for sharing.

This celebration is very colorful and interesting. Could you please tell a bit more about it? What are the traditional dishes, what are you doing on the celebration? Are you gathering with the whole family at one place?

@Petra_M I am glad to know you enjoyed watching my videos.

Indeed festival was very colorful.

This event is within the temple. Not everyone comes with family. Like I had gone alone for worship of Lord Ganesha as it was his Birthday.

Traditional dishes for the celebration is sweets. Lord Ganesha' favorite sweet dish is modak ( I really don't know any alternative name for it)

So people offer sweets like modak to God and relish it later as prasad.

Like we celebrate our own birthdays, this is the way (as shown in video) Lord Ganesha' birthday is celebrated in this Temple with folk songs & folk music.

@RadieN I am glad to know you enjoyed reading and watching.

Bhandara means Feast. Since its Lord Ganesha' Birthday there an arrangement for people who come to worship, they can worship and the have food which is like a prasad.

Thanks for the reply @KomalMaru! It sounds very interesting, because we don't have any similar celebration in Hungary. 

Just as a reminder, don't forget when responding to others make sure to tag them (by writing @ before their names) in a post so they can receive notifications that you are communicating with them.

@Petra_M Thank you for enlightening me. I thought reply gets @ by default. Actually I haven't used much this platform, so don't know the features. I am so thankful for your guidance.

Also honestly, it skipped out of my mind that this platform is read internationally. Next time I shall keep in mind while writing a post in such a way that it gives more guidance internationally. I am deeply grateful for the guidance. Do visit Mumbai - India to enjoy our cultural festival and celebration.
