Mythology & Legend
Goddess Parvati created Ganesha from sandalwood paste and breathed life into him, setting him as guard while she bathed. When Shiva returned, Ganesha blocked his entry. Shiva, not knowing who the boy was, beheaded him in anger. To console Parvati, Shiva replaced his head with that of an elephant and declared him the leader (Ganapati) of his ganas.
How to Observe
Install a Ganesha idol (clay/eco-friendly) at home. Perform daily puja for 1.5 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 10 days. Offer modak (sweet dumplings), durva grass, and red flowers. Conclude with Visarjan (immersion) in a water body with processions.
Significance
Lord of new beginnings, remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta). Worshipped before all undertakings. The festival celebrates wisdom, prosperity, and the power of devotion.
