It is that time of the year when Bengaluru’s street turn festive as numerous committees celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi in their localities. Close to 3000 small committees, under the umbrella organisation Bengaluru Mahanagara Ganesha Utsava Samithi (BMGUS), are gearing up for the celebrations and this year, and the theme for Ganesha pandals is “Vishwa Shantigagi Hindu Dharma” (Hinduism for world peace).
The pandals will have posters with the history, principles, and messages about Hinduism while cultural programmes will also be organised along the same theme. Speakers who have in-depth knowledge about the religion will also be invited, organisers said.
