Ganesh Chturthi Special

Ganesh Chturthi Special

Ganesh Chaturthi  is one of the very popular Hindu festivals celebrated in India with a great devotion specially in the Maharashtra. This day is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh, the younger son of Lord Shiva & Goddess Parvati. Lord Ganesh is the symbol of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. Ganesh Chathurthi is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi.

Ganesh Chaturthi is a ten-day Hindu festival celebrated to honour the Lord Ganesh.It is observed by installing Lord Ganesha's idols at homes for ten days, worshiping them &
then finally immersing them in water. From Lord Ganesha's Isthapna to Visarjan, devotees offer various sweets and savouries to the deity, amongst which modaks & laddus make for the most prominent prasad of the festival, modak is believed to be Ganesha's favourite food, & hence he is also known as Modakapriya, someone who likes modak.
