COVID subdues Vinayaka Chathurthi celebrations for the second year

Vinayaka Chaturthi, the ten-day hindu festival is set to begin from today with less pomp and vigour across the country amid COVID-19 restrictions and protocols. Due to the ongoing pandemic, large scale celebrations and public congregations have been put to halt across the country. Many States have restricted the size of Ganesh idols and imposed Section 144 to contain the spread of the virus.
