Rithvik Dhanjani is getting ready for Ganesh Chaturthi by making his own eco-friendly Ganesha idols at home. He’s encouraging his fans to do the same.
As the festival approaches, many people are excited to welcome Lord Ganesha. Rithvik shared a post on Instagram showing himself making a Ganesha idol and urged his followers to try making their own or choose eco-friendly options if they can’t.

This year, Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on September 7. The festival includes placing clay idols of Ganesha, chanting prayers, and fasting.

In a recent episode, Rithvik shared a funny story about learning to play the guitar in college to impress girls. He said, “In college, any guy who played the guitar was instantly popular. I learned the guitar, tabla, and mouth organ, but still couldn’t impress the girls.”
