About Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity of wisdom, new beginnings and the removal of obstacles. It begins on the fourth day of the month of Bhadrapada, usually in August or September, and in some places lasts for ten days.
The festival is especially popular in Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and among Indian communities abroad. Families install clay idols of Ganesha at home, and neighbourhoods set up large decorated pandals. Daily prayers and aarti are offered, along with modak, the sweet considered Ganesha’s favourite. On the final day the idols are taken in joyful processions and immersed in water, with the cry “Ganpati Bappa Morya”. Many people now choose eco-friendly clay idols.
