It's been a year long wait and, now, devotees are thrilled to bring Lord Ganesh home for the 10-day festival.

They tuck themselves and their Lord into the dikki (boot) of their cars.

They carry him in their arms.

Joy unbridled on their faces, they welcome him.

His aagman is captured on each devotee's cell phone.

Dance and music welcome Him! 

Dear Readers, all have our own ways of welcoming the Vignaharta.
