Event details

Vinayaka Chathurthi is a Hindu festival celebrated in honour of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. It is celebrated throughout India and is one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar.

The festival is celebrated on the fourth day of the Hindu lunar month Bhadrapada, which usually falls between August and September. On this day, devotees of Lord Ganesha gather together to worship and offer prayers to him.

The festival begins with the installation of a clay idol of Lord Ganesha in homes and temples. Devotees decorate the idol with flowers and other offerings. After the puja, they offer prayers and chant mantras praising Lord Ganesha.

The main ritual of the festival is the Ganapati Visarjan, which involves immersing the idol in a body of water such as a lake, river or the sea. It is believed that this ritual helps to remove all the negative energy from the environment and bring good luck and prosperity to the devotees.

The festival is also an occasion for families and friends to come together and celebrate. People exchange sweets and gifts and share stories about Lord Ganesha. It is a time for joy and happiness and for people to share the blessings of Lord Ganesha.

Vinayaka Chathurthi is a reminder of the power of faith and devotion. It is a reminder that no matter how difficult the situation, Lord Ganesha will always be there to protect and guide us. It is a reminder that no matter how hard the obstacles, faith and devotion can help us overcome them.
