Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as
Ganeshotsav, Vinayaka Chavithi or Vinayaka Chaturthi is one of the biggest
Hindu festivals that is celebrated in India. The ten-day-long festival marks
the day Lord Ganesha was born. Lord Ganesha, also known as the God of New
Beginnings, the Remover of Obstacles, is the God of wisdom and intelligence,
and also the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Although it is unknown when (or how)
Ganesh Chaturthi was first observed, the festival has been publicly celebrated
in Pune since the era of Shivaji (1630–1680, founder of the Maratha Empire).
After the start of the British Raj, the Ganesh festival lost state patronage
and became a private family celebration in Maharashtra until its revival by
Indian freedom fighter and social reformer Lokmanya TilakIn. Maharashtra,
Ganesh Charurthi is known as Ganeshotsav. Families install small clay statues
for worship during the festival. The Murti is worshiped in the morning and
evening with offerings of flowers, durva(strands of young grass), karanji and
modaks The worship ends with the singing of an aarti in honour of Ganesh, other
Gods and Saints.
