Ganesh Chaturthi, as one of the most important festivals in India, is awaited and celebrated with much joy and passion across the country. This festival is a commemoration of the birth of the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha. Traditionally, it was celebrated as a private family affair, but it was transformed in 1893 when a leader named Lokmanya Tilak used the celebration as a venue to unite the brahmin and non-brahmins in Maharashtra. Today, the states of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh are known for their grand festivities during this festival.<\/p>\n

Ganesh Chaturthi begins in the fourth day of the month of Bhaadrapada, or between August 20 and September 15 in the Gregorian Calendar. The festivities usually last for ten days. During the festival, devotees gather in community pandals, participating in feasts, poojas, and various activities. On the final day of the celebration, devotees fast for a whole day and accompany a grand procession of Ganesha’s idol across the city.<\/p>\n

It takes a day’s worth of preparation to create these Pandals, so the community already makes them before the festival begins.<\/p>\n
