Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as birth anniversary of Lord Ganesh On Ganesh Chaturthi
Lord Ganesh is worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.
It is believed that Lord Ganesh was born during Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month.
Currently Ganesh Chaturthi day falls in month of August or September in English calendar.
The Ganeshotsav, the festivity of Ganesh Chaturthi, ends after 10 days on anant chaturdarshi which is also known as Ganesh Visarjan day. On Anant Chaturdashi, devotees immerse idol of Lord Ganesh in water body after a gala street procession.
On the day of the festival
it is placed on raised platforms in homes
or in elaborately decorated outdoor tents
for people to view and pay their homage.
Throughout the ceremony
Vedic hymns from the Rig Veda and Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad
and Ganesha stotra from the Narada Purana are chanted.
For 10 days
from Bhadrapad Shudh Chaturthi to the Ananta Chaturdashi
Ganesha is worshipped.
On the 11th day, the image is taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing,
to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash
while taking away with him the misfortunes of all man.
All join in this final procession shouting "Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukariya"
After the final offering of coconuts, flowers and camphor is made,
people carry the idol to the river to immerse it.
