Ganesh Chaturthi is the day Lord Ganesha is believed to bestow his presence on earth.
Mumbai's favourite god arrived in the city using various modes of transport. The festivities began early Saturday morning, celebrated all over and by people from all walks of life, from politicians to film stars.
''This is the festival of the remover of obstacles. Just as the festival will pass off peacefully, so will all the problems in politics,'' said Vilasrao Deshmukh, Chief Minister, Maharashtra.
''This is a festival for all believers,'' said Govinda, Actor.
To the common Mumbaikars, the festivities are carried out in their own unique style - from the richest like the Rs 7 crore GSB Mandal Ganpati in Wadala to the strangest, like a Harry Potter version in South Mumbai.
But this is only the beginning of the ten-day long celebrations, certain to get more vibrant and exciting in the days to come.
