Virajpet Ganesh Festival Overview – 16

Virajpet: The 19th annual Gauri-Ganeshotsava celebration has been celebrated in Virajpet Municipality as a symbol of devotion and unity.

After the 11-day Mahapuja, a grand procession of Nadaswara and folk art groups will be held on the main streets of the city, and the traditional immersion festival of the remover of obstacles will be held in the Gauri Lake.
