Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most auspicious festivals celebrated with great devotion and grandeur across India. Lord Ganesha, the beloved elephant-headed god, symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, and the remover of obstacles. This festival, lasting for ten days, marks the birth of Lord Ganesha and invites him into homes and communities for blessings.
### Special Story: The Birth of Lord Ganesha
According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha was created by Goddess Parvati. While Lord Shiva was away in meditation, Parvati used her divine powers to create Ganesha out of sandalwood paste. She asked him to guard the entrance while she bathed. When Shiva returned, unaware of Ganesha’s origin, he was stopped at the door. Enraged, Shiva severed Ganesha’s head. Upon realizing his mistake, Lord Shiva replaced Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant, giving him his unique form. Since then, Ganesha has been revered as the god who removes obstacles and brings good fortune.
### How to Worship Ganesha
1. Clean the Puja area – Start with cleaning the space where the idol of Lord Ganesha will be placed.
2. Place the idol – Set up the idol of Ganesha on a clean platform, adorning it with fresh flowers and garlands.
3. Light a Diya – Light a ghee or oil lamp and offer prayers to the lord.
4. Chant Mantras – Recite the Ganesha mantras with devotion.
5. Offer Modaks – Offer modaks, which are Ganesha’s favorite sweets, along with fruits and coconut.
6. Aarti – Perform the Ganesh Aarti with devotion and offer prasad to everyone.
7. Visarjan – On the final day of the festival, bid farewell to Ganesha with a visarjan (immersion) of the idol in water, symbolizing the cycle of birth and rebirth.
### Best Ganesha Mantra
