Ganesh Chaturthi is a 10-day Hindu festival, which comes to a close (mostly) with a colourful visarjan, this is when devotees immerse the beautifully created Ganesha idols in water.
The traditions vary from state to state, what remains unchanged is the Ganpati dance, which is mostly about breaking into an impromptu jig.
And Bollywood has always had the knack of adding more zing to this festival – there's a song for every occasion. One may find many songs in the Hindi films that have been dedicated to the god of wisdom and learning, Lord Ganesh.
