Introduction
  • The celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi take place
    every year for marking the birth of Lord Ganesh,
    known as the God of beginnings in Hindu
    mythology. According to the Hindu calendar, the
    festival occurs sometime during the month of
    Bhadra with the date being earmarked as September
    2 for Ganesh puja in the year 2019. Lord Ganesh
    is also believed to be a purveyor of good
    fortune, luck, and wisdom.

Historical Background
  • According to legend, Ganesh was made out of
    sandalwood paste by Goddess Parvathi who put him
    on guard when she went to take a bath. Lord
    Shiva, upon his return, would not be allowed to
    pass through by the obedient child. Angered at
    this behavior, Lord Shiva immediately severed the
    little ones head. Goddess Parvathi came to know
    of this and was left heartbroken, leading her
    husband to promise that he would resurrect
    Ganesh. His followers were sent out with
    instructions to bring back a childs head but all
    that they could find was the head of a baby
    elephant. That led to the rebirth of Lord Ganesh
    with the head of an elephant.

Traditions
  • The weeks building up to the festivities of
    Ganesh Chaturthi are full of excitement. Clay
    idols of Lord Ganesh are made and painted over by
    the people. Pranapratishhtha is the first event
    that takes place with priests chanting holy
    mantras. Next up is a 16-step ritual known as
    Shodasopachara Puja during which offerings
    considered to be favorites of the God are placed
    in front of His idol.
  • It is also very common to see pandals being put
    up across many localities with huge statues of
    Lord Ganesh and creative Ganesh Puja decoration
    ideas being implemented.

Uttarpuja
  • The end of the festivities is marked by a ritual
    called Uttarpuja. At the end of this, the idols
    are immersed in water in what is known as Ganpati
    Visarjan. Devotees chant slogans that are a sign
    of their respect towards him. During the
    immersion procession, people indulge in a great
    deal of dancing, singing, and merry making which
    is a hallmark of the moment.

Ganesh Puja in New Delhi
  • If you feel that the grandeurs of Ganesh
    Chaturthi are limited only to the shores of the
    Arabian Sea and Maharashtra, you are very wrong!
    Over the course of the last few years, there has
    been as much fervor in the national capital as in
    the financial capital of India with idols lining
    the city streets being a common sight as devotees
    queue up to make their pick of the best one.
