In a significant cultural initiative, the Maharashtra government has announced financial assistance of ₹25,000 each to 1,800 bhajani mandals ahead of the Ganesh festival.
Bhajani mandals, groups that perform devotional songs and music, are an inseparable part of Ganesh Chaturthi festivities across Maharashtra. Their performances create a spiritual and festive atmosphere, drawing communities together in devotion and celebration.
The financial aid aims to support these traditional groups, many of which operate with limited resources. With this grant, the government seeks to encourage cultural preservation, empower local artists, and ensure that the tradition of bhajans continues to enrich Ganesh Utsav celebrations.
The Ganesh festival, which brings millions of devotees together every year, is not only a religious occasion but also a display of Maharashtra’s cultural heritage. The assistance to bhajani mandals underlines the government’s effort to strengthen grassroots cultural participation while uplifting community-led traditions.
With this support, the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi promises to be both spiritually enriching and culturally vibrant.
