About Ganesh Chaturthi/Vinayaka Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi is a major Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. In India, devotees install clay idols of the deity in homes and elaborate public pandals, offering prayers and traditional sweets like modak. The celebration concludes with the immersion of idols in water bodies, symbolizing Ganesha's return to his celestial abode.
