Virajpet Ganesh Festival: Overview 14

Virajpet: The 27th annual Gauri Ganesh Pratishthapana Mahotsav is being celebrated with great devotion and splendor by the Sarva Siddhi Utsav Samiti in Sunkadakatte, Virajpet, which is famous for its cultural and religious splendor.

The founder of this religious work was The. V.K. Nagaraju. He was the first to decide to install the Gauri Ganesh idol in Sunkadakatte and organize the festival. In those early days, The. V.K. Nagaraju, along with Prakash, Arun and Ashok, worked hand in hand for the success of the festival. In the initial years, the Ganesh idol was immersed in the pump lake of Sunkadakatte.

Over time, this festival expanded its scope. For the past 27 years, the Sarva Siddhi Utsav Samiti has been participating in the historic Ganesh festival procession held in Virajpet. Currently, the immersion of this idol is being celebrated in Gowrikere with great traditional and grandeur.

The Shri Gowri Ganesh idol is installed at the community hall in Sunkadakatte. Special pujas, pujas and food distribution services are performed during the festival.

The immersion and procession are the main attractions that attract the attention of the people. Traditional art troupes, charming electrically decorated pavilions and various still lifes depicting social awareness and concern add to the beauty of this festival.

Currently, 50 enthusiastic members are actively involved in the Sarva Siddhi Utsav Samiti. The founder president, D. V.K. Nagaraju's son Nikshit is serving in his father's footsteps as the vice-president of the committee. Yatish is currently serving successfully as the president of the festival committee and is leading the committee together. Every time, a special Ganesha idol is installed. Also, great care is taken towards the decoration.

With a long history of 27 years, the Gauri Ganeshotsava of the Sarva Siddhi Utsav Samiti has emerged as an important festival that upholds social unity and culture along with religious devotion.
