MLA Kishor Jorgewar's family carries on 96-year-old Ganpati tradition

Ganesh Utsav has a special atmosphere in Chandrapur this year. Ganpati Bappa was formally installed at Chandrapur MLA Kishor Jorgewar's Rajmata residence, carrying forward the Jorgewar family's nearly 96-year-old tradition.

The tradition was started by the MLA's grandfather in 1931. Begun in a spirit of devotion, faith and bringing the family together, the Ganesh Utsav grew richer over time. Later generations carried it forward with the same devotion, and it has now reached the third generation in Kishor Jorgewar's family.

The atmosphere at Rajmata residence turned devotional on the occasion of Bappa's arrival. Family members welcomed Bappa with formal prayers and rituals. The area echoed with chants of "Ganpati Bappa Morya, Mangalmurti Morya." Relatives and close acquaintances, along with family members, came to have darshan of Bappa.

Many generations' memories have been tied to this tradition since it began 96 years ago. Times and circumstances have changed, but the family's devotion to Bappa and this tradition have remained unchanged. This is why the Ganesh Utsav has become not just a religious event but also a symbol of the family's togetherness and values.

The Ganesh Utsav held at the house is not limited to worship alone; it is also a way of bringing the whole family together. Passing on the tradition preserved by the elders to the next generation and keeping the bond with their culture strong is what defines this 96-year-old Ganesh Utsav.

On the occasion, MLA Kishor Jorgewar prayed at Bappa's feet for the destruction of evil forces in society and for all difficulties to be removed from people's lives. He prayed for happiness, peace, contentment and prosperity in every home, for negative energy in society to be replaced by positive energy, and for every person to move forward with new hope and positive thinking.
