It's the day of Lord Ganesh and it's celebrated with real pomp and show in various parts of the country. Hers this festival is mainly popular among students and it's the students who worship Lord Ganesh on this day in their schools/colleges.
We too arranged for the Puja in our hostel's common room-it was great! The preparations for the Puja had started two days before-collecting money from the boarders of our hostel and planning out things such as what would be the expenditure and at what time the Puja is to be done. There was a group consisting of some 5 people who were in-charge of all the things but anyone suggestions were most welcome and everyone had an equal say in all the matters-this is the spirit of NITians freshers!
The Puja was done at 7 in the morning and though it's always a real pain to get up early in the morning and have a bath but there was an amazing enthu today and eveyone was ready and we got collected in the common room and the Puja was held very nicely and peacefully.
There is also a Puja in the AV Hall of our college but had not been there till now-because we had a cricket match after the Puja and I was the captain of the team- well we lost it ;-))) Not good at playing cricket nor at captianing a team! Will be most probably going to the AV Hall in the evening if I don't feel too lazy;-)
In this respect,our Hall was the the unique one as it was the only Hall to organise the Ganesh Puja in the Hall itself- the other Hall members had to attend the Puja in the AV Hall- ya,ya freshers are the best in this college ;-)

From what I know and worry about is the variety and quality of the "prasad" that comes with it. ;-)
Not just Puja, any such gathering and celebration with everyone paricipating at school or college is fun really if you get involved. I know my batchmates who used to avoid paricipating in such events out of laziness... but then they also missed out on all the fun.
Ashish Sir- The quality was Prasad was okay... After all it is NIT,Rkl and not IITK.
Seema-yes,its always fun in these kind of activities. I do enjoy these and try to attend all these kind of cultural activities but now-a-days study pressure is mounting and so sometimes I miss some.
