விநாயகர் சதுர்த்தி (Vinayagar Chathurthi) also known as 'GaneshChaturthi' or 'Vinayaka Chavithi' is a spectacular Hindu festival that honors the birth of the beloved elephant-headed god. Lord Vinayaga popularly worshiped for his ability to remove obstacles and bring good fortune.
Celebration :-
-------------------
A life-like clay model of Lord Ganesha is made 2-3 months prior to the day of
Ganesh Chaturthi. The size of this idol may vary from 3/4th of an inch to over
25 feet.
On the day of the festival, it is placed on raised platforms in homes or in
elaborately decorated outdoor tents for people to view and pay their homage.
The celebration continues for five, seven, or ten days. Some even stretch it to twenty one days, but ten is the most popularly celebrated.
Prayers and cultural feasts are offered to Lord Ganesha every day during the festival.
On the 11th day, the image is taken through the streets in a
procession accompanied with dancing, singing, to be immersed in a river or the
sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode
in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of all man.
Lord Vinayaga,
the son of Shiva and Parvati, is believed to bestow his presence on
earth for all his devotees in the duration of this festival. It is the
day Lord Shiva declared his son Vinayaga
as superior to all the gods.
