What Is Ganesh Chaturthi And Why Do We Celebrate It?

Ganesh Chaturthi, Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi celebrates Lord Ganesha, the Hindu God of wisdom and intelligence. The devotees also worship Lord Ganesha as the remover of obstacles and the God of new beginnings. This Ganesh Chaturthi festival which commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha is a 10-day celebration wherein clay idols of the deity are placed in homes and pandals (temporary temples where devotees come to offer their prayers) and prayed to. The worshippers offer their prayers and sweets (especially modak) which are later distributed as prasad (prasadam or blessings from the Lord). The Lord Ganesha idols come in all sizes, from miniature statues for small family functions to larger than life, intricate idols to be installed in public worshiping places. During the 10 days of the festival, hymns from the Hindu text of Ganapati Upanishad are read, puja rituals and sweets are offered to the deity. On the 10th and final day, the idols are taken to a nearby waterbody for immersion. This Ganesh Visarjan is a sight to behold as thousands of people take to the streets in a huge procession with music, chanting, and colors (or gulal).
