Ganesh Utsav

Ganesh Utsav is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrated primarily in India, honoring Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom and prosperity. It typically lasts for 10 days, beginning in late August or early September, coinciding with the Hindu month of Bhadrapada. The festival involves installing Ganesha idols in homes and public places, conducting prayers, singing devotional songs, and enjoying festive meals. The celebration culminates with the immersion of the idols in water, symbolizing Ganesha’s return to his celestial abode. Ganesh Utsav fosters community spirit, cultural expression, and devotion, making it a significant event in many regions, especially Maharashtra.
