Karuna Manor Care Home Celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi with Joy, Devotion, and Community Spirit

Karuna Manor Care Home was filled with devotion, colour, and joy as residents, families, and team members came together to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi and the traditional Visharjan.

The celebrations reflected the vibrant culture and heritage that Karuna Manor proudly embraces, while also bringing residents a deep sense of belonging, peace, and happiness.

The festival began with the welcoming of Lord Ganesha’s idol into the home, beautifully decorated by residents and team members with flowers and lights. Traditional prayers and devotional songs filled the atmosphere, offering residents a chance to connect with their spiritual roots.

Over the 10 days, residents participated in daily aarti, storytelling sessions about Lord Ganesha’s wisdom, and cultural activities such as singing and sharing personal memories of past celebrations.

The celebration concluded with the symbolic Visharjan ceremony, where residents and their families joined together in prayer, followed by a respectful immersion ritual carried out in an eco-friendly way. This final act symbolised not just devotion, but also the values of care for the environment and gratitude for shared moments of joy.

Speaking about the celebrations, Home Manager, Payal Chhabra, said: “At Karuna Manor, we take pride in creating a true home for our residents, where traditions are honoured, and every celebration brings people together. Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival of joy, unity, and devotion, and it was heart-warming to see our residents smile, sing, and feel the love of their families and community. The Visharjan was especially emotional, as it gave everyone the chance to reflect and celebrate together in harmony.”

For residents, the event was more than just a festival—it was an opportunity to relive cherished memories and create new ones. Mrs. Patel, a resident at Karuna Manor, shared:
“I have celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi all my life, but to see it celebrated here with such devotion makes me feel at home again. The prayers, the music, the decorations—everything reminded me of the times with my family. I felt blessed to be part of this celebration with my friends here.”

Payal  added: “The Ganesh Chaturthi and Visharjan celebrations at Karuna Manor exemplify the home’s commitment to holistic care—nurturing not only physical wellbeing, but also emotional, cultural, and spiritual fulfilment. Events like these highlight the importance of community, togetherness, and the belief that every resident deserves a life filled with joy, respect, and meaning.”
