The Ganapati festival is being celebrated all over Maharashtra with a lot of enthusiasm and spirit. At community festival, we are watching various programmes being held to unite people in the neighbourhood , while some people welcome Ganapati and Goddess Gauri  in their houses to offer pooja. During this period, our Marathi stars take off from shootings to devote their time for this purpose and to be with their family members.

Actress Smita Tambe is no exception. Every year in her house she welcomes Goddess Gauri along with Ganapati and offer Pooja along with her family members. Now that she got married early this year, she decided to welcome Gauri- Ganapati in her husband’s house in Mumbai for the first time. Since her childhood she has been taking a lot of interest to arrange the decoration and also dress up Gauri Goddess . This year, she did it all alone and also purchased the dress material for the Gauri goddess at the shops located around Mahalaxmi temple Kolhapur.

Speaking about this wonderful experience, Smita Tambe says, “Every year I used to do all this while assisting my mother. But this year, I had the satisfaction of doing this all on my own.”
