Many a time people living together on a street come together to celebrate. People vie with each other to have big idols. Pandals are erected and the celebration goes on for upto ten days. Musical programmes are organised and generally there is a feeling of joy and bonhomie. Elders and children wear new clothes and the preparation of Modaka is a must on this day.
Before the immersion, the evening arati for the deity is performed. People fear that false aspersion may be cast upon oneself on seeing the moon on that day.

Mother. Lord Ganesha is son of goddess Gouri who was created from her body mud as a body-guard. Lord Siva cuts his head & he gets elephant head as replacement.
Ganesa's wives are SIDDHI & BUDDHI. But some say he is a bachelor
