Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most important festivals celebrated by the people of India. The festival brings lots of joy, happiness and teaches several important lessons such as being merciful, trustworthy, self restraint and many moralistic etiquette’s of life.
The festival is celebrated as a birthday of Lord Ganesha, an elephant headed lord who is considered to be a powerful, intellect and pardoner. This festival is a very auspicious day celebrated to pray the god so that every new activity that is started is successfully completed without any obstacles. A giant idol of Ganesha is made with clay & colored fantastically to attract the devotees.
The Idol is kept & worshiped for several days [3/5/7/10 days] & then with great pomp & show, the idol is immersed in water which is called as Ganesh Visarjan. This whole concept teaches us an important lesson of life i.e. a human who is made up of clay again goes back to its descent.
