The Ganesh festival is incomplete without songs dedicated to Lord Ganesha. As the festival approaches, devotional songs invoking Bappa can be heard everywhere. Every year, new songs for Bappa are released. The solo album Parvati Nandana, featuring actress Vandana Gupte, who has won hearts with her performances, and singer Uttara Kelkar, who has mesmerized audiences with her soulful voice, was recently launched by Aditya Nair Productions. The song, beautifully written by Kautuk Shirodkar, is sung by Uttara Kelkar and young singer Aditya G. Nair, with music by Praveen Kunwar. The album is produced by Guru Nair Productions.
We traditionally begin any task by offering prayers to Lord Ganesha. The festival of Ganpati is a symbol of joy and celebration, bringing enthusiasm to everyone. This same enthusiasm is reflected in this song, which showcases the bond between a grandmother and her grandson.
पार्वतीनंदना
एकदंत गजानना
दुर्वाहार तुझ्या गळ्यामधे शोभतो
तुझे कान भले मोठे
अन डोळे छोटे छोटे
कसा बाप्पा तू गोजिरा वाटतो
The lyrics in the song express the love shared by the grandmother and grandson for Bappa.
Speaking about the song, Vandana Gupte says, “As generations change and time moves forward, we must carefully pass down the experiences we’ve had to the next generation, so they can savor the sweetness of those memories. In this song, the grandmother teaches her grandson the significance of the joyful Ganesh festival. The festival brings families together, strengthens bonds, and creates an atmosphere of joy and excitement. While making this song, I truly felt the essence of all these emotions.”
Singer Uttara Kelkar expressed her joy in singing this wonderful song, saying, “Worshiping art is akin to worshiping Lord Ganesha, and I am thrilled to have sung this beautiful song.” Producer Guru Nair shared his belief that this song will surely resonate with audiences and expressed his happiness at having the opportunity to work with such a talented team on a song dedicated to Lord Ganesha.
