But the celebration has also an ugly side, as chances of break-ins rise during the festival and misadventures can take place at various Sarvajanik Ganesh pandals.
Police has released advisories to various Sarvajanik Ganesh pandals and to the common man, who will be away during the festival. With around 71 Sarvajanik Ganesh pandals expected to be set up in North Goa, the focus is on security and maintaining discipline at various pandals.
Police have released advisories among the organizers of the Mandals, who set up the Sarvajanik Ganesh pandals.
Organizers are expected to make elaborate arrangements for smooth movement of the devotees that throng to the Sarvajanik pandals.
"It's a routine practice where we release an advisory to all organizers involved in Sarvajanik Ganesh Pandals with a list of requirements. We have requested the organizers to install CCTV cameras, arrange volunteers, ensure proper entry/exit system, etc," said Chandan Choudhary, Superintendent of Police North.
She said adequate police personnel will be deployed at venues of Sarvajanik Ganesh pandals.
