This year, Vinayaka Chavithi 2020 (Ganesh Chaturthi) started on Saturday, August 22, 2020. This festival is celebrated all over India by various Hindu cultures. Every year, the festivities continue for around 11-12 days. Vinayaka Chavithi usually ends after 11 days when a statue of Lord Ganesh is sunk into the sea. However, Vinayaka Chavithi 2020 will be celebrated conservatively, as the COVID-19 pandemic has made it dangerous to travel around in crowds.
