As the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi kicks off, social media platforms are buzzing with various content, but one particular video is winning over hearts. The heartwarming clip features a stray dog named Sheru, who has gone viral for his spirited participation in the Ganpati Agaman celebrations of 2024.
Sheru, a beloved stray dog residing in Bandra East, Mumbai, was seen joyfully participating in the procession with the Shree Sai Seva Mitra Mandal to welcome Lord Ganpati. Dressed in festive attire, Sheru’s involvement added an extra layer of charm to the already vibrant celebrations.
The video, posted on Instagram by photographer Ayush Dixit, has amassed over 9 lakh views. Ayush described the clip with the caption:
“Sheru living his best life with @shree_sai_seva_mitra_mandal_ of Bandra East, as they welcome Ganpati Bappa to their home. Ganpati Agaman, 2024.”
The heartwarming video has received a flood of positive comments. Viewers were delighted to see Sheru embracing the festive spirit, walking alongside the Mandal members as they brought the idol of Lord Ganpati to their home.
Riya Mehta commented, “Sheru is a celebrity now! This is what festivals are all about—love and inclusivity.” Another viewer, Anil Pandey, remarked, “This is so heartwarming. Sheru is clearly the star of the mandal!” Satish Kudatar humorously added, “Every mandal has that one dog who is almost the adhyaksha (president) of that mandal!”
Other users, such as Maya Shah, expressed, “This is the best thing I’ve seen this Ganesh Chaturthi. Sheru is living his best life,” while Neha Jain added, “Sheru deserves all the love and fame. What a beautiful moment!”
