Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most popular Hindu festivals.
Ganesh Chaturthi is related to Lord Ganesha.
It is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi in Sanskrit, Kannada,
Tamil and Telugu. It is the birthday of Lord Ganesha.
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on every 4th day of
the month of Bhaadrapada. Ganesha is considered as the
supreme God of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.
The clay model of Lord Ganesha is made 2-3 months prior
to the day of Ganesh Chaturthi. The size of this idol may vary
from 3/4th of an inch to over 25 feet. Ladoos are distributed
on the day-by tradition ladoos were placed in different
corners of the house and eaten before the meal.
Milk is offered to idols of lord Ganesh at home and at temples,
and Ganesh puja is performed at all temples and hi-house
prayer rooms. Fasting, feasting and distribution
of sweets offered to Lord Ganesh are important aspects of
Ganesh chaturthi rituals in India. Ganesh Chaturthi became
a major festival of Maharashtra, where thousands of
gigantic idols of lord Ganesh are immersed by huge
processions of worshipers shouting, Ganpati Bapa Morya,
in the Arabian sea and rivers of the state.
The festival has now gained popularity all over India.......
