Ganesh Chaturthi 2021 Date and Time, History, Significance: One of the most lively and merry-making festivals of Hindus is undoubtedly the Ganesh Chaturthi. As per the traditions, the Ganesh Chaturthi marks the day when Lord Ganesha was born who went on to become the symbol of wisdom, wealth and prosperity. The festival which is celebrated across different parts of the country with gusto and enthusiasm is beginning from today i.e. September 10 this year. The festival which spans over a period of eleven days is celebrated by installing an idol of Lord Ganesha under a make-shift temple made of tent and tarpaulin across thousands of spots across the country. The eleven-day period of festivities will come to an end on September 21 this year which coincides with the Chaturthi Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the Bhadrapada month.
Significance of Ganesh Chaturthi
Colourful and magnificent sky-touching idols sculpted by artists across different parts of the country are installed at the makeshift temple in an open area at different locations of the country. Individually most families install a smaller idol of Lord Ganesha on the same day and worship the idol throughout the eleven day period. The worship begins with the pranapratishtha ritual which is conducted to rejuvenate the man-made idol with the spirit of Lord Ganesha. The idol is paid tribute by the worshippers in as many as 16 ways called shhodashopachara.
