Ganesh Chaturthi Puja
Ganesh Chaturthi Puja is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and prosperity. Devotees perform Ganesh Sthapana at home or in public pandals, offering modaks, flowers, and prayers. The puja lasts for one or more days, ending with visarjan—immersion of the idol in water. It symbolizes the cycle of creation and dissolution, and invites blessings for success, harmony, and new beginnings.
