Ganesh Chaturthi holds a very significant part in the Indian history too. In the 19th century, Indian freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak urged people to get together and celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi on a large scale. The intention was to showcase protest against Britishers who did not allow large public gatherings. Over the years, the celebrations have only increased and have become one of the festivals that witnesses large enthusiastic crowds.
