Bangalore, Sep 1: Prayers were offered in temples and at community pandals today as Ganesh festival was celebrated across Karnataka with religious gaiety and fervour.
Devotees brought idols of the elephant-headed God to their homes and offered sweet delicacies 'modak' and 'poli'.
Resplendent rangolis adorned houses while several temples were decked up for the occasion.
Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda along with his family members visited the Ganesha temple at Malleshwaram here early in the morning and offered prayers.
Rains in Udupi did not deter devotees from celebrating the festival.
