Ganpati Darshan Pune

I will keep the Background of festival very short.

Ganesh Chaturthi is Hindu festival celebrated in honor of Lord Ganesh, which generally falls in August/September according to Gregorian Calendar.

Primary sweet of the fest being Modak.

This festival is celebrated at Home, Housing Societies and in Public, in many parts of India, though the origin of festival is considered to be Pune.

Fest is celebrated across the streets of Pune, there are Five, most honored Ganpatis in Pune, know as "Manache Paanch":

1. Kasba Ganpati
2. Tambdi Jogeshwari Ganpati
3. Guruji Talim Ganpati
4. Tulsibag Ganpati
5. Kesariwada Ganpati

Since, clicking "Manache Paanch" was too mainstream. This year, I decided to get down to streets of the City also.
