Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the grandest festivals of India. This is the second time I am bringing Ganesha home so it will be double the fun! He helps us to overcome obstacles in our life and I believe he is the cutest form of deity in the Hindu religion. I have always been fascinated by Lord Ganesha. I have also contributed to the soundtrack for the film My Friend Ganesha. Here are my top 5 picks that are sure to get you in the festive spirit.

1) Aarti from Vaastav

I love the aarti in this movie and listen to it during the festival.

2) Ganesh Smaranam with Shankar Mahadevan

A sanskrit devotional album with Shankar Mahadevan for Ganesha which is played across in all temples and even people’s homes during the festival.

3) Ganaraaj Rangi Naachto

This is a classic Ganesh Chaturthi tune enjoyed by one and all.

4) Gajanana Shree

This is one of Lata Mangeshkar’s most popular marathi songs and it is played at various mandals.

5) Deva Shree Ganesha from Agneepath
