Importance of Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is not just a religious festival, but it is a great festival that gives the message of faith, enthusiasm, unity, and environmental protection.
Lord Ganesha is considered to be Vighnaharta (remover of problems), Mangalakarta (giver of good fortune), and an enlightener.
Devotees believe that worshipping Ganpati on this day removes all the troubles of life and brings success, prosperity, and good fortune.
History of Ganesh Chaturthi
1. Mythological belief
According to the Puranas, once Goddess Parvati made a clay idol from the paste of her body, breathed life into it, and made it her gatekeeper.
When Lord Shiva returned home, Ganesha stopped him. An angry Shiva cut off his head.
Later, distraught by the grief of Mother Parvati, Shiva replaced Ganesha’s head with the head of Gaj (elephant).
Since then, he came to be known as Ganapati, Gajanan, and Vighnaharta.
2. Historically
The credit for the tradition of celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi as a public festival goes to Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
In 1893, Tilak made this festival a medium to awaken the consciousness of social unity and the freedom struggle.
Since then, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great pomp not only in Maharashtra but all over India and abroad.
