Ganesh Chaturthi Puja is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. It is observed with great devotion, typically lasting 10 days, starting on Chaturthi (the fourth day of the lunar month Bhadrapada). The puja involves installing Lord Ganesha’s idol, chanting mantras, offering prayers, sweets (like modaks), and performing aarti before immersing the idol in water (Visarjan).
