The much-anticipated Hindu festival, Ganesha Chaturthi, is set to return to Nicosia this September with a grand cultural celebration organized by the Indian community in Cyprus. This festival is one of the most significant religious events in India, marking the birth of Lord Ganesha, the revered deity known for bringing wealth, wisdom, knowledge, and prosperity. In India, Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated over 10 days, but in Cyprus, an exciting evening of music, dance, and traditional customs will showcase the rich heritage of Indian culture. The 5th edition of Ganeshotsav will take place next week, promising an unforgettable experience.
Global Celebrations of Ganesha Chaturthi
Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated by Indian communities worldwide, and it typically begins with the installation of intricately designed idols of Lord Ganesha in homes and public spaces. For 10 days, participants engage in singing, dancing, fireworks, and vibrant processions to honor the deity. The festival culminates with the idols being carried to nearby rivers in joyous processions, accompanied by drumbeats, devotional songs, and dance performances. This final act, known as the idol immersion, symbolizes Lord Ganesha’s return to his divine abode at Mount Kailash, where he reunites with his parents, Shiva and Parvati.
A Night of Cultural Festivities in Nicosia
In Nicosia, this vibrant celebration will be condensed into a one-night event, showcasing a variety of cultural performances. On September 28, the Dali Amphitheatre will host an evening of singing, group dances, traditional costumes, and speeches to honor the spirit of Lord Ganesha. The event, organized by Sanskriti Cyprus, is set to feature an exciting lineup of activities that reflect the essence of Indian traditions. This year’s event is held in collaboration with the Indian High Commissioner, Mr. Manish, further emphasizing the significance of the occasion.
Sanskriti Cyprus reflects on the previous years, saying, “The last four years have been nothing short of magical, and we look forward to making this year’s celebrations even bigger and better. Join us in welcoming Lord Ganesha to Cyprus on Saturday, September 28.”
