Ganesh Chaturthi is a grand public festival (Bombay’s most celebrated, in fact) honouring beloved Hindu deity, Lord Ganesh: remover of obstacles and maker of fortunes.

During Indian Independence, Ganesh also came to be the ‘god for everyman’. Thus, previously humble Ganesh Chaturthi festivities swelled to become a symbol of unity and oneness among all people. In that spirit, you will spy Ganesh sitting quietly at the entrance of every Dishoom, keeping us in good stead while welcoming one and all.
