Ganesh Chaturthi started on August 27 with grandeur all over the nation, and actress Bhumi Pednekar participated with her own private puja at home. Posting snapshots of several family members celebrating on Instagram, Bhumi treated fans to a glimpse of the devotional environment. A video featured her reciting mantras with her sister Samiksha and their mother, while another clip showed her making offerings of flowers before the intricately decorated Ganesh idol sitting on a floral throne.
Graceful Traditional Appearance
For the event, Bhumi chose a sea green and gold silk saree with a golden blouse. She added a statement choker necklace, similar earrings, and a dainty Chandrakor bindi to her appearance, while makeup was kept subtle to enhance her natural glow. Her traditional look and calm smile spoke the language of the festival.
Posting the photos, she captioned, “Ganpati Bappa Morya.”. May Bappa bless us all, may there be peace and prosperity. May we always be blessed with the presence of loved ones and by the blessings of the departed.” The emotional post went out with warm wishes from fans, who saluted both her appearance and her devotion.
Visiting Mumbai’s Iconic Pandal
Having celebrated the day at home, Bhumi ventured out to participate in the city’s festive spirit under the BT Blockbuster Bappas programme sponsored by Bombay Times. She went to the famous GSB Seva Mandal pandal at King’s Circle, one of the most famous Ganeshotsav locales in Mumbai. Wearing traditional clothes and sporting a nathni, she made offerings and imbibed the religious vibes of the pandal.
Talking about her association with the festival, Bhumi told us, “As Ganesh Chaturthi approaches every year, my energies rise. The dhol beats and the chant of ‘Ganapathaye Namah’ instill a divine energy that is so profound and divine.” With her religiosity and festive appeal, Bhumi was the very essence of Ganesh Chaturthi.
