In
Ranjangaon, villagers do not bring Ganesh idol in their houses, instead
everybody comes in the temple for Ganesh pooja,in the month of Bhadrapada.The
Ganesh festival is celebrated for first six days. In the first four
days palanquin of Shree Mahaganapati is taken to different places in
the village. It is called as Dwaryatra'.For the first four days villagers
are allowed to enter the sanctum & perform pooja on their own.
On the fifth day Mahaprasad is distributed among the devotees. In the
afternoon boxing competitions (kusti) are held in the village. On the
sixth day devotees take darshan of murti & then go to Mahaganapati's
temple by performing Lotangan (prostration) on the way.(lotangan means
proceeding by rolling one's self over & over)
