Bengaluru Ganesh Utsava (BGU) is more than a festival — it is a living celebration of India's vibrant cultural spirit. With a glorious legacy spanning over 60 years, BGU is proudly organised by Sri Vidyaranya Yuvaka Sangha, a not-for-profit organisation committed to the preservation and promotion of Indian heritage.
Rooted in devotion and elevated by artistic brilliance, the Utsava brings together music, dance, tradition, and community in a divine confluence. What began as a humble neighbourhood celebration has today evolved into one of South India's most iconic cultural festivals, drawing artists, performers, and devotees from across the country.
BGU stands as a beacon of cultural unity, seamlessly blending the timeless charm of Indian traditions with contemporary expressions of art and performance.
