Happy Ganesh Chaturthi: Ganesh Chaturthi, a major Hindu festival, is just around the corner. Also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Ganesh Utsav, devotees spend 10 days commemorating the birth of Lord Ganesha. The event is celebrated in the Shukla Paksha of the Bhadrapada month on Chaturthi Tithi (August or September). This year it will be celebrated with a lot of pomp and enthusiasm. Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most popular celebrations in India, especially in Maharashtra and neighbouring states like Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Goa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. The most revered of all Hindu deities is Lord Ganesh, who is recognised as the remover of all barriers.

On this day, the clay idols of Ganesha are set up both privately in people’s homes and publicly in elaborate pandals and are worshipped on a daily basis for a period of 10 days. Along with prayers and fasting, daily prasad is prepared, including delicacies such as modaka, believed to be Ganesha’s favourite sweet. The festival comes to an end on the tenth day when the idol is taken out in a procession through the streets and immersed in the nearby waterways.
