There's a magic in Indian Festivals that transcends our culture. Festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi has an unmatchable influence not only on our lives but also on the economy. According to Bhartia, the trade of Ganesha idols alone brings in over ₹500 crore. Items like flowers, garlands, and coconuts add another ₹500 crore. Sweets like Modaks are also in high demand during the festival, pushing sales beyond ₹2,000 crore. The festival also helps local tourism and transportation, adding about ₹2,000 crore to the economy. Retail sales for items like clothes, home decor, and gifts reach around ₹3,000 crore. Event management companies also benefit, making about ₹5,000 crore from organizing large events. The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) shared that the festival season, starting with Raksha Bandhan and followed by Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Diwali, and more, will drive significant growth in the Indian economy. Ganesh Ji’s influence, however, extends beyond the economy. He has become a symbol of hope and new beginnings, inspiring people to overcome their challenges and lead better lives. His presence during this festival strengthens the bonds of community and cultural heritage, making him the ultimate influencer on a much larger scale. What do you think about festivals impacting our economy positively and can this be scaled to attract tourism in India? #ganeshchaturthi #celebrityinfluencer #ganpatifestival #indianfestival

Ganapathi Bappa Moriya! 🙏 When Bal Gangadhar Tilak ji initiated Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, it was with the purpose of uniting communities for a greater cause. Decades later, that vision continues to bring us together for collective good, it’s nice to see this! And there’s room to take it further. Every year, our beautiful celebrations also generate tons of flower waste, Prasad, and other unregulated waste at Pandals. Instead of letting these offerings clog drains, why not recycle them into compost and return them to the farmers to enrich the soil? 🌸🌱 Phool.co and many others are doing this actively. In our community, we’ve been driving efforts to reduce plastic use and promote sustainable waste management during Ganesh Chaturthi. This isn’t just a temporary change—it’s a shift we are instilling in future generations - “Prarthna, Jap, Satvik aur Satat Soch!” Lord Ganesha symbolizes wisdom, and now it’s on us to celebrate him with eco-consciousness and respect. How can we make this Ganesh Chaturthi even greener and more sustainable? 💚 #EcoFriendlyGaneshChaturthi #GanapatiBappaMoriya #Sustainability #GreenFestivals
