People made elaborate plans to decorate their houses, whip up decadent modaks (a sweet known for its association with Lord Ganesha), and spend the day with friends and family.

To celebrate the day and its significance, IFS Susanta Nanda shared an adorable video on X, formally Twitter.?In the clip that instantly pulled viewers onto the platform, a majestic elephant walks towards the camera.

In his caption, the IFS officer wrote, “Ekadantaya vakratundaya Gauri tanaya ya dhimahi. Gajeshanaya bhalchandraya Shree ganeshaya dhimahi. Blessed Ganesh Chaturthi to you all.”
