Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Ganesh Utsav, is a highly anticipated and well celebrated Hindu holiday observed throughout India to honor Lord Ganesha's birth.
Ganpati Bappa is revered as the deity of new beginnings, wealth, and knowledge, often worshipped at the start of a new passion, academic, or commercial venture.
Ganesh Chaturthi, starting September 7, is a Hindu festival where devotees welcome Bappa home, organize sermons, pray, and bid him farewell with Visarjan.
Ganesh Visarjan marks the end of Ganesh Chaturthi festivities, with Anant Chaturdashi being the final day where Lord Ganapati's idol is immersed in water, highlighting its cultural and religious significance.
The Ganesh Visarjan ceremony is a significant event in Hinduism, believed to mark Lord Ganesha's return to his celestial dwelling.
On the final day of the festival, Lord Ganesha returns to Mount Kailash to reunite with his parents, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
The event emphasizes the life-death cycle and suggests that immersing the Lord Ganesha statue in a dwelling can alleviate various dwelling obstacles.
