Ganapati Pooja

 

Ganesh Chaturthi, also called Vinayaka Chavithi, is an auspicious Hindu jubilee that is celebrated for 10 days every time. The jubilee is celebrated in the Bhadra month as per the Hindu timetable which generally falls from mid-August to September. It marks the birthday of the cherished giant-headed Lord Ganpati. Ganesha is known as the God of wealth, lords, knowledge, wisdom, and substance, and that is why utmost Hindus remember him and seek his blessings before starting any important work. Lord Ganpati is known by 108 different names like Gajanana, Vinayaka, and Vighnaharta among others.


Ganesh Chaturthi significance

 

It's believed that addicts who supplicate to Ganpati are suitable to fulfill their wishes and solicitations. So, the main substance of Ganesh Chaturthi is that addicts who supplicate to him are set free of sins and it leads them on the path of knowledge and wisdom. Historically, the jubilee has been celebrated since the time of King Shivaji. It was during India's freedom struggle that Lokmanya Tilak changed Ganesh Chaturthi from a private festivity to a grand public jubilee where people from all gentries of the society can come together, supplicate, and be united.


Rituals of Vinayaka Chavithi

 

Four main rituals are performed during the 10 day long jubilee. They're videlicet- Pranapratishhtha, Shhodashopachara, Uttarpuja, and Ganpati Visarjan.
