Mumbai markets packed ahead of Ganesha festival despite Covid warnings

Description

Mumbai residents rush to markets ahead of the start of a major 11-day Hindu festival despite warnings of a new Covid-19 wave in India's financial capital. Authorities will limit the height of effigies of the elephant-headed god Ganesha to reduce the number of devotees carrying them during the festival.
