About Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is the Hindu festival that marks the birth of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god whom worshippers call on at the start of any new undertaking and honor as a remover of obstacles. It falls on the fourth day of the waxing moon in Bhadrapada, which lands in August or September. On the first day, the date shown here, families bring home a clay figure of Ganesha and welcome it with prayers, flowers, blades of durva grass and plates of modak, a sweet dumpling said to be the god's favorite.
Neighborhood committees build much larger idols inside decorated pavilions called pandals, which draw visitors around the clock. The festival ends with visarjan, when each idol is carried through the streets with drumming and dancing and immersed in a river, lake or the sea. Households choose how long to keep their idol, commonly one and a half, three, five or seven days. Public celebrations usually last 10 days and finish on Anant Chaturdashi, the biggest immersion day of all. Many people now pick unbaked clay idols, since plaster figures and synthetic paints pollute the water.
Ganesha worship is centuries old, but the large public festival took shape in the 1890s, when nationalist leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak promoted community celebrations in Pune as a way to bring people together under British rule. Maharashtra still hosts the biggest celebrations, with Mumbai's pandals drawing huge crowds, and the festival is also widely observed in Goa, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Hindu communities abroad, including in the United States, hold their own temple and community celebrations. The date shown follows India's central government holiday list; regional almanacs sometimes place it a day apart.
