Ganesh Chaturthi 2019: People celebrate the festival publicly as well as privately; every home is graced with an idol of Ganesha, and devotees flock to pandals to seek blessings from the larger-than-life idols.
Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Ganeshotsav, Vinayaka Chavithi or Vinayaka Chaturthi is one of the biggest Hindu festivals that is celebrated in India. The ten-day-long festival marks the day Lord Ganesha was born. Lord Ganesha, also known as the God of New Beginnings, the Remover of Obstacles, is the God of wisdom and intelligence, and also the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Ganeshotav falls in the months of August or September, and on the fourth day of Bhadrapada, according to the Hindu lunisolar calendar. People celebrate the festival publicly as well as privately; every home is graced with an idol of Ganesha, and devotees flock to pandals to seek blessings from the larger-than-life idols.
The Elephant God is known to have quite the sweet tooth, so a sweet dish called modak is offered during Ganesh Chaturthi, it is believed to be Ganapati’s favourite sweet dish. Modak is a dumpling that is either steamed or fried, and is made with rice flour, jaggery, grated coconut and dry fruits.
The festival ends by immersing the idol in a water body, a river or the sea. Hindus believe that immersing the idol signifies that Ganesha has returned to his parents, Shiva and Parvati in Mount Kailasha. While the festival is celebrated throughout India, the states of Goa, Telangana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Chhattisgarh celebrate it with much fervour.
