Ganesh Chaturthi: Welcome Knowledge and Prosperity and Receive the Vigana Harta’s Blessings

Lord Ganesha is revered as the lord of wisdom, knowledge and prosperity and his blessings are known to remove obstacles from one’s life. Also known as Vinayak Chaturthi, this day is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the dear son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. One of the grandest and the most elaborate festivals in the country, it lasts for 10 days, culminating on Ananta Chaturdashi when huge, life-like clay idols of the lord are immersed in the sea, symbolizing a ritual see-off when he heads back to Kailash taking away all of mankind’s misfortunes.

Generally bedecked idols of Lord Ganesha are placed on raised platforms at homes and outdoor spaces, flowers are offered, chants are recited to appease the lord and gifts are exchanged on this occasion as well.
