SIGNIFICANCE OF GANESH CHATURTHI

For those who are unaware, this sacred festival commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the deity symbolizing good fortune, wisdom, and prosperity. The 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival is set to conclude on September 28. Ganesh Chaturthi signifies a day of renewal, symbolizing the deity's rebirth and representing new beginnings.

According to legend, Goddess Parvati crafted an idol of a child from sandalwood paste and imbued it with divine powers. To her astonishment, a young boy emerged from the sculpture, addressing her as his mother. Goddess Parvati was overjoyed to have a son who, she believed, would forever be devoted to her.

Here's wishing everyone a happy Ganesha Chaturthi.
