Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi: Invoking Prosperity and New Beginnings

A beloved Hindu holiday, Ganesh Chaturthi commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the god of knowledge, wealth, and the removal of barriers. In addition to prayers and offerings like Modak, the festival, which is observed during the month of Bhadrapada (August–September), involves the placement of ornamental Ganesha idols in homes and public areas. Visarjan, the ceremonial submersion of the idol in water, marks the event's conclusion and serves as a spiritual farewell.
