New Delhi: Every year, devotees celebrate Lord Ganesh's birthday on Ganesh Chaturthi. This year, the festival falls on August 26, and enthusiastic people all over India are geared up to welcome the deity known for showering wealth, wisdom and prosperity. Preparations have already begun for the festivity. During the celebration, Ganesh Chaturthi pandal decorations are one of the most crucial aspects to welcome the God. Decorations often feature vibrant colours, flowers, and traditional motifs to create a festive and auspicious ambience.
For Ganesh Chaturthi pandal decorations, people generally use flower garlands, create floral backdrops, incorporate traditional designs and elements related to the festival, such as modak, puja thalis, and use eco-friendly materials like banana leaves and chart paper. Lighting with fairy lights and diyas also adds to the divine aura. Organisers also use different themes to spread messages. Here we will explore many attractive pandal ideas where Lord Ganesh is placed.
Here are some of the popular Ganesh Chaturthi pandal decoration ideas.
