Ganesh Chaturthi, which is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is a festival which celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha. This year it falls on September 2, going by the Gregorian calendar. Devotees celebrate the festival by keeping idols of Lord Ganesha at home or in pandals where huge statues are displayed. The devotees fast and chant prayers, and the pandals distribute prasad to the devotees.
The prasad include sweets such as the modak which is believed to be Lord Ganesha’s favourite. The festival comes to an end 10 days after its start when Lord Ganesha’s idols are immersed into the sea, and it is believed that this is how he returns to Mount Kailash to Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
