The music video was shot at Sets in the city, Bhiwandi, Maharashtra. It features Amruta Khanvilkar performing Kathak dance with six other dancers, along with Rahul Deshpande singing the song in the background.[5]
Development and release
Khanvilkar had a thought of doing this for around six months, which she shared with Deshpande, who started working on its music. She then approached her choreographer friend Ashish Patil and cinematographer Sanjay Memane, with whom she had previously worked for Chandramukhi (2022).[1] The entire song was shot in a single day.[6]
The song was announced with the poster featuring Khanvilkar and Deshpande on 8 September 2023, along with a short teaser of the music video the following day.[7][8] The song was released on 12 September 2023, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturthi.[6] Khanvilkar says "the song is a tribute to Ganesha as I make my debut as a producer."[1]
Lyrics
ॐ गण गणपतये नमः
ॐ नमो गणराज गजानन
गणपती गुणनिधी
तव चरणाशी मी नतमस्तक
हे मंगलमूर्ती....
हे लंबोदर हे गणनायक मंगलदायक मोरया
जनसकलांचा तू अधिनायक सिद्धीविनायक मोरया
गं गं गणपती गजमुख मंगल
धीटगिड धीटगिड धीटगिड
थून थुन
तत तत थई
जय जग वंदन
वक्रतुंड दानी धा ता
विग्नहरण सुख्करण
धागे ना धागे
धिमिकिट धिमिकिट
थुडंग थुडंग
धाती गिनं थई
थुडंग थुडंग
धाती गिनं थई
थुडंग थुडंग
धाती गिनं थई
तेजःपुंज हे तव मुखमंडल..
माथी चंदन, कानी कुंडल
कमरेवरी फणिबंध शोभतो
मुषक तुज संगती..
हे लंबोदर हे गणनायक मंगलदायक मोरया
जनसकलांचा तू अधिनायक सिद्धीविनायक मोरया
तू दुखहर्ता, तू शुभकारक
तू दुखहर्ता, तू शुभकारक
अग्रपूज्य तू वरदविनायक
तुझ्या स्वागता सुर नर नारी..
गाती तव आरती...
हे लंबोदर हे गणनायक मंगलदायक मोरया
जनसकलांचा तू अधिनायक सिद्धीविनायक मोरया
जय गणेश श्री गणेश जय जय
