All you need to know about Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Ganeshotsav, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Vinayaka Chavithi, Ganesh Utsav or Vinayagar Chaturthi. The festival falls annually during Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month; this year, it is being celebrated on September 7. The celebrations continue for ten days, ending with Anant Chaturdashi, also known as Ganesh Visarjan. On Anant Chaturdashi, devotees immerse the idol of Lord Ganesh in a water body after a gala street procession. Meanwhile, as per rituals, devotees should keep Ganpati Bappa inside their homes for one-and-a-half days, three days, seven days, or ten days.

While Ganesh Utsav is celebrated throughout the country, large-scale celebrations take place in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Karnataka, especially in cities like Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad. On this day, devotees worship Lord Ganesha, pray to him for his blessing, and prepare bhog.
