- It is not known when and how Ganesh Chaturthi was first celebrated. Ganesh Chaturthi was being celebrated as a public event in Pune since the times of Shivaji (1630-1680), the founder of the Maratha Empire.

- One might wander what harm these immersions cause to the environment. However, a point to be noted here is that traditionally, the idol was sculpted out of mud taken from nearby one’s home.
