Ganesh Chaturthi

The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, honors the birth of Lord Ganesha, the Lord of Wisdom and Prosperity. This auspicious celebration has been observed by IBA for many years. The sthaapna of Ganesh murti marked the start of the celebration this year on August 31.

The day before the idol’s sthaapna, the students enthusiastically set out to create 101 clay Ganesh idols, surpassing previous records in the process. At IBA, there was a 4-day festival that included arti offerings in the morning and evening. Both students and faculty members volunteered to prepare the delectable prasad offerings for the arti. The prasad included 56 different foods, including sweets, fruits, and dried fruits. Every arti was accompanied by students singing beautiful bhajans, which energized the room.

The students organized a special cultural celebration on the third day, illuminating the evening with joyful dance performances, uplifting songs, and a drama about Lord Ganesha’s birth. A customary lavish feast was enjoyed on the final day. Then two parts of our cohort competed in a highly entertaining laddoo auction. With heavy hearts, students performed Visarjan of the 101 Ganesh idols to conclude the four-day celebrations.
