Today is Ganesh Chaturthi, a vibrant and widely celebrated Hindu festival that honours Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity known as the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings.
During Ganesh Chaturthi, devotees create elaborate clay idols of Lord Ganesha to seek his blessing for success and happiness and bring them into their homes and public pandals (temporary stages). The celebrations also include prayers, offerings, singing of hymns, and cultural performances.
The festival culminates with the immersion of the idols in water, symbolising the cycle of birth and rebirth and the notion that divine blessings should be shared with the universe.
For all who are celebrating today, Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
