Vinayaka Chathurthi, also known as Ganesh Chaturthi, is a prominent festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and god of beginnings.
Celebrated with great enthusiasm across India, Vinayaka Chathurthi involves installing idols of Lord Ganesha in homes and public places. Devotees perform prayers, sing devotional songs, and offer sweets like modak. The festival lasts several days, culminating in the immersion of the idols in water, symbolizing Ganesha's return to his celestial abode.
