As Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 arrives on September 14, television’s favourite stars are gearing up to welcome Ganpati Bappa home with the same devotion and dhoom as their fans. From on-set aartis with their TV families to elaborate home celebrations with modaks, mandaps, and dhol-tasha beats, here’s a look at how the small screen’s biggest names are set to celebrate the festival of joy this year.
On special occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi 2026: Television’s favourite stars welcome Ganeshji home in their own special ways this year. Raqesh Bapat, who is from Amravati in Maharashtra, keeps his celebration simple and full of Marathi tradition, staying close to his roots even with his busy Mumbai life. Ganpati celebrations are deeply personal for Shweta Mahadik – like sculpting the Ganesha idol herself to creating the entire festive decor from scratch, the former TV actress puts her heart and soul into every detail. Arjun Bijlani brings his family close for the celebration, keeping it a heartfelt affair rooted in togetherness and gratitude. And Ritwik Dhanjani goes a step further — every year, he sculpts his own Ganeshji idol by hand using natural clay, turning it into an eco-friendly, months-in-the-making tradition that makes his celebration extra special.
As Ganeshji settles into homes across the country this Ganesh Chaturthi, these television stars remind us that whether it’s a simple family prayer, a hand-sculpted idol, or a warm gathering with loved ones, the true joy of the festival lies not in grandeur, but in devotion, togetherness, and the happiness Bappa brings along with him. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
