If you're still reeling from Salman's Khan Ganesh Visarjan dance, it's time to shift focus. Thailand is celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi too and in rather endearing a manner.

In a YouTube video titled "Ganesh Utsav at Thailand," a large congregation can be seen performing a very novel style of pooja. This group has set up their aarti ki thali with candles instead of agarbatis and a huge laddoo cake instead of the customary modak. And behold, the traditional aarti songs have been passed over for the birthday song.

Yes, it's happy birthday to you to Lord Ganesha in Thailand. They even chant "Ganpati Bappa Morya, Mangalmurti Morya" once their aarti is complete.

The video makes for an adorable watch and will make you smile from ear to ear. Take a look:
