Every year lakhs of people travel from Mumbai to their native Konkan to celebrate Ganesh Festival. Ganesh Chaturthi is considered as the biggest festival in the Konkan region. The 10-day long festival is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in Maharashtra. It is difficult for public to get train and bus tickets at this time. The BJP has arranged Namo Express and buses on this occasion.
