GANAPATI BAPPA MORYA: People flood Panjim market ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi

With the highly anticipated Ganesh festival set to kick off in just one day, the atmosphere in the state is abuzz with excitement. In contrast to the typical Monday scene, where the markets are relatively quiet, this time around, the scenario was vastly different, as enthusiastic shoppers flocked to the bustling market.

Vendors specializing in traditional "matoli" items experienced a brisk surge in business, as residents from both the town and surrounding villages rushed in for last-minute purchases. In addition to the matoli bazaar, stalls offering decorative articles and firecrackers were thoughtfully arranged in designated areas, creating a one-stop shopping experience for festival-goers.

While a significant number of people were observed making their festival purchases, it was impossible to ignore a noticeable decline in the number of shoppers compared to previous years. Despite this, the festive spirit remains high, and people are eagerly preparing to celebrate the Ganesh festival with fervor and enthusiasm.
