If there is one festival which can bring Mumbai to a halt (other than celebrating the return of the victorious Indian National Cricket team from the T20 World Cup 07), it is the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. Lord Ganesha is considered to be the Remover of Obstacles in Hindu Mythology and is one of the most widely worshiped gods in India.
This is my first year in Mumbai
and it provided me with an opportunity to be part of the festival that defines Mumbai, in the form of the Dance Ganesha Festival @ Mahalaxmi. This festival is in its 9th year and is a favorite haunt of a lot of celebrities who want to party as well as celebrate the elephant god. This party happens on the last day of the festival when all Ganesha idols are immersed in the sea.The party is hosted on top of a
huge trailer truck which travels all the way from Mahalaxmi to Hajji Ali, with a DJ spinning his tracks and a 100 odd super exclusive invitees on the trailer partying and dancing. The DJ was Whosane and the whole experience can't be written about, only experienced. So without much ado lets move onto the videos of the event.

After watching the videos, I only wish I was physically, and not virtually, part of this gala celebration. Nevertheless, Thanks for putting up the videos...we became part of the celebrations too!
Amidst all the Mumbaikars going crazy and wild singing 'Ganpatti Bapa Moriya', the whole experience would have been great for sure. Wow! :)
Looked like one hawt part-ay! ;D
Wishin' I was there, jammin' to the beats with the rest of Mumbai. ♥
