ooja Gupta offers a picture of the Lord Ganesh at her friend's home in Spain's Canary Islands (located off the western coast of Africa).
She says: Ganpati Puja is a festival not only celebrated in Maharashtra but also around the world irrespective of caste and language.
My friend's name is Naresh Jethani. He is 26 and single and doing business in Spain, while his parents live in Mumbai. He has been bringing Ganpati home for eight years now. His family in Mumbai have never brought Ganapati home but he does it in Spain!
Every year for 10 days his home is buzzing with Indians and even Pakistanis, who visit and pay darshan. Lord Ganesh has his followers in every corner of the world. That's the magic of Ganesh!
