Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations

Ganesh Chaturthi is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom and prosperity. It involves installing detailed clay idols of Ganesha in homes and public pandals (shrines), accompanied by prayers, hymns, and offerings. The festival typically lasts 10 days, during which devotees perform rituals, sing devotional songs, and partake in communal feasts. In the final days, the idols are immersed in water, symbolizing Ganesha's return to his celestial abode and the cycle of creation and dissolution. The celebrations foster community spirit and spiritual reflection.
