Anant Chaturdashi marks the last day of Ganeshotsav festival in India. This day is filled with mixed emotions as people are ready to bid goodbye to their favourite lord Ganpati. After a wholesome 10-day celebration of the festival, people tend to get emotional during the farewell. Many devotees prepare special Bhog offerings to seek final blessings from their Lord Ganesha.
