Vinayaka Chavithi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Across Nellore district, homes, schools, and streets are adorned with idols of Ganesha crafted from clay and eco-friendly materials.
The ten-day celebration includes daily prayers, traditional dances, and devotional songs. On the final day, grand processions are held to immerse the idols in nearby water bodies, accompanied by drumbeats and chants of “Ganapathi Bappa Moriya.”
In Nellore city, the immersion at Magunta Layout and Ramalingapuram attracts large crowds, making it one of the most vibrant community events of the year.
