Ganesha Chaturthi 2021 will be celebrated from September 10. This annual celebration usually lasts for 10 days where people invite Lord Ganesha into their homes and offer prayers, sing aartis and prepare various special delicacies for Ganapati. Traditionally, people invite idols of Lord Ganesha into their home on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, since it is believed that Lord Ganesha visits his devotees on earth after coming from Mount Kailasa. Lord Ganesha is believed to return when the idol is immersed in water, known as Ganesh Visarjan. Ganapati Visarjan is usually done in 1 and half days, three days, five days, seven days or at the end of the 11-day festival on Anant Chaturdashi.
