Ganaraj Gajanan

Ganaraj Gajanan is a 2023 Indian Marathi devotional song composed and sung by Rahul Deshpande, and the lyrics are penned by Sameer Samant. The track features actress Amruta Khanvilkar and singer Rahul Deshpande. Khanvilkar also produced it under the banner Amritkala Studios.

Music video
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.

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). The entire song was shot in a single day.

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. The song was released on 12 September 2023, coinciding with Ganesh Chaturthi. Khanvilkar says "the song is a tribute to Ganesha as I make my debut as a producer."
