The auspicious festival of Ganesh Chaturthi has started from today. Devotees marked the day by installing Lord Ganesha’s idols in their homes and offering sweets. The festival began with much fervour all across India. Even IndiGo Airline hopped on to the bandwagon and wished everyone a happy Ganesh Chaturthi by sharing an AI-generated picture of Bappa coming home on a plane.
The post was shared by IndiGo on Instagram. It featured an AI-generated picture of Lord Ganesha sitting in an IndiGo airplane with a big plate of his favourite sweet “Modak” in front of him.
“Bappa is coming home,” read the caption of the post.

Needless to say that the post garnered a lot of attention and social media users shared their thoughts in the comments section.
“What an edit,” a user wrote. Another user commented, “Wow.”
“Petition to add modak in IndiGo’s menu,” a third user remarked. That’s how you make a perfect CGI and make audience’s Day!” a fourth user wrote.
Another person chimed in, “Super creative.”
Ganesh Chaturthi also known as Vinayak Chaturthi or Ganesh Utsav, marks the birth of Lord Ganesha and is observed for ten days. It falls annually on the Chaturthi Tithi of Shukla Paksha. The last day is called the Ganesh Visarjan, where devotees immerse the idols in water.
Devotees also fast during this time. While some people fast for all 10 days, some just observe a fast on the first and last day. Ganesh Chaturthi will end on September 28 this year.
