Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity symbolizing wisdom and prosperity. Observed mainly in India, it typically falls in August or September. The festival lasts for 10 days, during which vibrant processions, prayers, and cultural events take place. Devotees create ornate idols of Ganesha, which are placed in homes and public spaces. At the end of the festival, the idols are immersed in water, symbolizing the cycle of creation and dissolution. This festival fosters community spirit, devotion, and artistic expression, attracting millions of participants each year.
