Virajpet Ganeshotsava Overview – Part 10

Virajpet, a place of harmony, devotion and religious heritage, is in full swing with the Gauri-Ganeshotsava festivities. The Shri Mahaganapati Seva Samiti of Ganapati Street, which is at the forefront of religious and cultural activities in the town, is fully geared up to celebrate its 36th year of grand Gauri Ganeshotsava this time.

In the early days, the Ganesh installation was started by the efforts of the elder D. P. Anni, and under the leadership of Krishnaswamy Naidu as the president, K. Balan and B.R. Rajan as the secretaries and the treasurer D. Kunhappa M.A., a solid foundation was laid for this festival.

In the days following the festival, Babu as the president, Ajith as the vice-president, Ramesh as the treasurer and Sumesh as the secretary successfully led the tradition of the festival.

In this religious journey, the active guidance of elders Irappa, Upendra, Ratnakar, Ravi, Chetan, Manju, Harris, Jaisan, D. Papunni, Jeevan, Vishwanath, Niketan, Bhaskar Shettar, Naidu and Dinesh was immense.

Later, the committee was led by K.B. Sumesh, who has served continuously as the president for the last 25 years and B. Unni as the secretary for 12 years and has become an example to the society. Manju and Chetan have served with them.

This time, the 36th year of the festival is led by President Harish Poojary, Vice-President Vinod Kumar and Honorary President Ratnakar. The Samiti installed the idol of Lord Ganesha in a silver chariot on the special occasion of the Silver Jubilee and participated in the procession, which is a very memorable milestone in the history of the festival.

Every time, the Samiti showcases a different, innovative and attractive pavilion with electric decorations in the procession, in order to give something new to the people of Virajpet.

A large number of people participate enthusiastically throughout the procession of the festival idol. The Samiti has proven its active and quality celebration by winning first and second places 3 times in the previous Ganeshotsava competitions.
