Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations across India have showcased a blend of traditional fervor and modern communal harmony. In Maharashtra, a mosque in Gothkhindi village has hosted Lord Ganesh's idol for the 44th year, symbolizing Hindu-Muslim unity. In Pune, an 83-year-old mandal has spearheaded eco-friendly practices by composting festival flowers and avoiding water pollution through on-site idol immersion. However, the festivities have seen tragic incidents, such as a person drowning and another going missing during idol immersion in Himachal Pradesh. Major cities like Mumbai are managing the festival's conclusion with extensive traffic advisories to handle the crowds and ensure public safety during the Visarjan processions. The 10-day festival, concluding on September 17, 2024, is celebrated widely, with rituals like idol immersion marking its end.
