Ganeshotsav, or Ganesh Chaturthi, is a major Hindu celebration that honours Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity associated with wisdom, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles. Celebrated over ten days, usually in August or September, the festival begins with the installation of elaborately decorated Ganesha idols in homes and public spaces. Devotees perform rituals, offer prayers, sing devotional songs, and prepare traditional sweets such as modaks. The festival creates a vibrant atmosphere of joy and devotion, with colourful processions, cultural performances, and community gatherings. Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 begins with Ganesh Chaturthi on Saturday, September 7.

The grand finale of the Ganesh festival is marked by Ganpati Visarjan which would be observed on Tuesday, September 17, where the Ganesha idols are immersed in water bodies, symbolising the deity’s return to his celestial realm. This immersion signifies the cyclical nature of creation and dissolution, and is accompanied by lively music, dance, and enthusiastic celebrations. The festival is not only a religious observance but also a reflection of cultural unity and the joyous spirit of community, making it a cherished event that strengthens bonds among participants and celebrates the rich tapestry of Indian traditions. For Ganesh Chaturthi, devotional songs and bhajans dedicated to Lord Ganesha play a crucial role in enhancing the festive spirit and devotional atmosphere.
