Maharashtra. While the Ganesh Chaturthi festival was observed in the region for centuries, it was predominantly a family affair. Bal Gangadhar Tilak initiated the celebration of the occasion as a social and cultural event in the late 19th century, and it has remained popular ever since.

well,it is the state of assam.the details have been given in the answers by sheikh,baby and high jack.it is basically a harvest festival. most festivals in our country are associated with the harvest period.in fact,it is to show respect to mother nature in its varied forms and hues that we have these festivals.however,most of these festivals are mechanically celebrated with most persons who celebrate them also hardly knowing their significance.festivals now have become mere tools to show one's pomp and show and also a source of grave pollution to the mother earth as also water and air.the sanctity and austerity has gone out of them.
