Juke box for Ganesh Chaturthi

The 10-day long Ganesh festival is celebrated to mark the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, and it is celebrated on the 4th day of the bright half of Bhadrapad. Hindu Mythology says that Ganesh Chaturthi is an auspicious occasion to offer prayer to Lord Ganesh Who removes all obstacles and troubles of devotees. Hundreds of people thronged temples, decorated with flowers and colourful lights, to pray to the elephant-headed Hindu god. Beautiful and decorated idols of Lord Ganesha have been installed in pandals where devotees offer prayer. Though it is celebrated all over India, its festivities are at most elaborate in Maharashtra, and the other parts of Western India. B-town celebrites are likely to be present at Lord Ganesha pandals in Mumbai, to add a touch of glamour to the celebrations. The celebrations would be incomplete without Bollywood songs and here we bring for you some.
