Ganesh Chaturthi (गणेश चतुर्थी), also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi (विनायक चतुर्थी), is a significant Hindu festival honoring the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god symbolizing wisdom, prosperity, and remover of obstacles. Primarily celebrated in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, the festival involves installing intricately crafted clay Ganesha idols in homes and public pandals.
The festival begins with the Pranapratishtha ritual to invoke life into the idols, followed by daily pujas offering flowers, modaks (Ganesha's favorite sweets), and aarti. Devotees engage in singing, dancing, and cultural performances, fostering a communal spirit.
Historically promoted by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and revitalized by Lokmanya Tilak during the independence movement, Ganesh Chaturthi symbolizes unity and nationalism. It culminates on Anant Chaturdashi with idol immersion (विसर्जन) in water, marked by chants, music, and dancing, symbolizing the cycle of creation and dissolution as devotees bid farewell to Ganesha, awaiting his return the next year.
