Gosh is it that time of the year again? Already? Well, get your ladoos ready because Ganesh Chaturthi is back! 🎉
So What is Ganesh Chaturthi
Here’s a thought. Everybody adores receiving presents… and who wouldn’t? But what about the joy of giving presents? Well, in Hindu mythology Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed God of wisdom and prosperity, loves it! In fact, he was born out of it!
Ganesh Chaturthi, or Vinayaka Chaturthi, is the vibrant, ten-day festival celebrating his birth. Falling in the month of Bhadrapada (August/September), the festival is observed with grand enthusiasm across India, especially Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Celebrations — More Colors Than A Double Rainbow 🌈
Homes and pandals are beautifully decorated, adorable clay idols of Lord Ganesha are installed, delicious food is prepared (hello modaks! 💗), prayers are sung, and dances are performed — all in the honor of our beloved Bappa.
What’s that you say? You’ve never heard of these customs before? Then it’s time for a little Ganpati 101!
- The Idol Installation: The festival kickstarts with the installation of beautifully handcrafted idols of Ganesha at home or in public pandals.
- Pooja and Prasad: Devotees then perform prayers and offer a variety of sweets including the all-time favorite, modak — believed to be Ganesha’s favorite sweet.
- Ganpati Dance: If there’s one thing that’s as famous as lord Ganesha himself, it’s the energetic and infectious Ganpati dance. This dance forms the soul of street processions.
- Visarjan: The festivities culminate on the tenth day, known as Anant Chaturdashi, with the immersion of the Ganesha idols in the water.
- And repeat: Well, not immediately! We wait for a year and then do it all again.
