We had asked you, dear readers to send us your Ganpati pictures!

Rajender Reddy welcomes Lord Ganesha into his home in Singapore.

His family can't stop smiling.

"This year's festival is very special to our family as it is my son Achyuth Ram's first Vinayaka Chaturthi," he says.

Rajender, who celebrates Ganeshotsav with his friends at the Arya Samaj in Singapore, adds, "This festival means sharing happiness with society and praying for peace in the world."

"We believe that Ganesha is a symbol for exalted intelligence, a sign of peace, kindness, smile, love and unity," says Rajender, who was joined by his wife Sumalatha, son Achyuth Ram, mother Vasantha, nephews Yuvann, Srihan, Rohith, Surya and niece Snehitha.
