Ends: Sep 19, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Ganesha Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is observed in the month of Bhadrapada (Bhado) according to the Hindu calendar. It starts on the Shukla Chaturthi (the fourth day of the waxing moon period). In the Gregorian calendar, it falls between August and September.
The festival lasts ten days and ends on Anant Chaturdashi (the 14th day of the waxing moon period). Although observed throughout India, Maharastra has the most spectacular festival.
Lord Ganesha is the god to be worshipped by Hindus before starting any important work. Ganesha Chaturthi honors Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom.
Giant effigies of Lord Ganesha are prepared and worshiped during the festival. Pandals boast clay images of Ganesha onn homes observing the festival.
At the festival's end, Lord Ganesha's idols are immersed in water.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
