Festival of Ganesh

The Festival of Ganesh, also known as Ganesh Chaturthi, is a popular Hindu celebration honoring Lord Ganesha, the deity of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. Usually lasting 10 days, it involves creating intricate clay idols of Ganesha, offering prayers, and performing rituals. Devotees gather in temples and homes to foster community spirit, culminating in the immersion of the idols in water, symbolizing life's cycle of creation and dissolution. The festival highlights devotion, cultural heritage, and the removal of obstacles, attracting millions of participants worldwide, particularly in India.
