Traditions and customs of different places are followed in Ganeshotsav. Alibaug in Konkan also has a custom of waking up a kur after Ganesha immersion. The tradition of waking up the kur was started so that Ganapati Bappa's necklaces and ornaments would not be stolen as they were houses of kuda earlier. At this time, all the people in the house sing bhajan and kirtan together.
