Hindi films boast of a number of songs dedicated to the deity and here's a list of the top five songs that you can add to your playlist and dance to on the joyous festival!

Gajanana | Movie- Bajirao Mastani

The awe-inspiring song 'Gajanana' from 2015 blockbuster 'Bajirao Mastani' is a sacred prayer that powers Peshwa Bajirao (played by Ranveer Singh).
