Utsavmurti

The state of Maharashtra in India has a magnificent cultural heritage of celebrating the Ganesh festival with great gaiety. The idol of Lord Ganesha is called ‘Utsavmurti’ meaning festival idol. The story of the film ‘Utsavmurti’ is about a boy named Kanha and Lord Ganesha in a group celebrating Ganesh Utsav. Kanha feels very envious of Lord Ganesha, who sits as a ‘Utsavmurti’ for ten days during the Ganesh festival, as Kanha himself wishes to become a ‘Utsavmurti’ like Lord Ganesha in life. His wish is fulfilled but then he realizes how difficult it is to become a ‘Utsavmurti’, noticing the several mistakes that are made at the Ganesh festival.
