The festive season has begun with Ganesh Chaturthi fever taking over the country. As the crowds chant “Ganpati Bappa Morya” and bring his idols home, they took pictures for everyone else to enjoy, wherever they might be!

Celebrities and common people alike made timelines colourful with their photos and here is the best of the best.

Coloured or not, Ganpati Bappa still commands attention and makes his larger than life presence felt.

People also adopted eco-friendly approaches making the idols from things like sugarcanes.

Celebrities posted photos of how they were celebrating the day.

Of course the day would not be complete without some modaks (a Marathi dessert) being shared (even if they were being shared virtually).

A tale of two Sophies, and some sins being forgiven.
