Ganesh Chaturdashi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is a sacred Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. It is observed on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the waxing moon phase in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (August–September). This auspicious occasion is celebrated with immense devotion across India, especially in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, and by Hindu communities worldwide.
According to Hindu scriptures like the Skanda Purana and Ganapati Upanishad, Lord Ganesha was created by Goddess Parvati and blessed by Lord Shiva to be worshipped before any divine undertaking. Ganesh Chaturdashi marks his birth anniversary and symbolizes the victory of wisdom over ignorance and good over evil.
The festival gained prominence in the late 19th century when freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak transformed it into a public event to unite people against British colonial rule. Today, it serves as a cultural bridge that blends spirituality, art, and community bonding.
