About Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi is a spectacular 10-day festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed God of wisdom and the remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta).

Vrat Vidhi & Fasting Rules

The festival spans from the installation of the idol (Sthapana) to its grand immersion (Visarjan).

Step-by-Step Fasting Procedures:

Perform 'Pranapratishtha' to invoke the presence of the deity into the clay idol.
Offer Lord Ganesha his favorite items: red hibiscus flowers, Durva grass, and 21 Modaks.
On Anant Chaturdashi, the idol is taken out in a grand procession and immersed in a body of water (Visarjan).
