Event Details

Ganesh Chaturthi is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. Observed on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada (August-September), the festival lasts for 10 days, culminating in *Ganesh Visarjan*, where idols of Ganesha are immersed in water. Devotees bring home or install beautifully crafted idols of Lord Ganesha in public pandals, offering prayers, sweets like *modaks*, and performing aarti. Cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad witness grand celebrations with music, dance, and community gatherings. The festival symbolizes the cycle of creation and dissolution, teaching devotees to embrace change and seek wisdom while removing obstacles in life.
