Religious Functions like Ganesh
Chaturthi, Saraswati Pooja, Sutta Punnav and
Sathyanarayana Vrita (Vaikunta Ekadashi Day) are
observed. The most popular programme is
Ganesh Chaturthi which is celebrated for
five days every year. Almost all GSB’s in
the city take part in this event with
enthusiasm. A corpus has been formed to
cover the expenses associated with the
Chaturthi celebrations. On all the five days
there are daylong programmes consisting of
Bhajans, mass recitation of Ashtottara, Mood
Ganapati and of course Samaradhana. The Sri
Ganesha worshipped in the SGS Sabha is
believed to have granted the wishes of many
devotees who in gratitude have made offering
of cash, kind, gold and silver. The festival
is gaining strength year after year thanks
to the Lord’s blessings. |
