With Ganesh Chaturthi just around the corner, several B-town celebrities are gearing up to welcome home the elephant-headed god.

Shilpa Shetty, who has been religiously celebrating this auspicious festival, was spotted today with her hubby Raj Kundra and son Viaan collecting the idol of Lord Ganesha.

This is the seventh year that Shilpa is bringing home Ganpati. The B-town beauty will keep the idol for five days before bidding it adieu in grand manner.

The 10-day Ganpati festival begins from September 5.
