Increasing commercialization

It's Janmashtami. All over India, its celebrated widely, but in Mumbai, it's extra special because of the dahi-handi. I have never participated in one though have been witness to many in my childhood. It has too like other things become commercialized and vulgar. I don't take my six year old daughter to see the Dahi-handi because of this. The Ganesh festival is becoming more and more vulgar with the latest remixes and Film Music blaring from the speakers.

I guess it's a normal process. It's not in Man's tendency to keep anything pure.
