The arrival of Ganesh Chaturthi brings a season of celebration to Mumbai.
Indian Idol Amey Date wearing a pitambar (puja dhoti) prays to Lord Ganesha in his home.
Date may have lost out on the coveted Idol title, but he has become a part of the Hindi film industry.
In fact, Anu Malik (who was a judge at the Indian Idol contest) reportedly visited Date at his home.
