Ganesh Chaturthi, or Vinayaka Chaturthi, is a Hindu festival celebrating Lord Ganesha's birth, revered as the remover of obstacles and God of wisdom. The festival begins with installing and decorating a clay idol of Lord Ganesha on a special pedestal. The Prana Pratishtha ritual involves invoking the deity’s presence with prayers, flowers, incense, and lamps. Daily Ganesh Puja and Aarti are performed, offering fruits, sweets (especially modaks), and coconut while reciting mantras. Devotees may fast and focus on worship. Additionally, vibrant rangoli will be created across the temple, adding a colourful and artistic touch to the festivities. The festival concludes with Visarjan (immersion) of the idol in water, symbolizing Lord Ganesha's return to his celestial abode, accompanied by music, dance, and festive celebrations.
