Hello
Today I am sharing what's happening at my house these days. Bappa morya or lord Ganpati has come to every household and people are dancing in joy and celebrating this beautiful festival named as "Ganesh Chaturthi".
What is Ganesh Chaturthi?
Ganesh Chaturthi is the Hindu festival celebrated on the birthday (rebirth) of Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati.
It is believed that Lord Ganesh bestows his presence on earth for all his devotees during this festival. It is the day when Ganesha was born. Ganesha is widely worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune and traditionally invoked at the beginning of any new venture or at the start of travel.

Ganesha is widely worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune and traditionally invoked at the beginning of any new venture or at the start of travel.
During this festival lord ganesha in the form of an idol is welcomed by every single household.
It is upto them for what number of days they want lord ganesha's idol to stay minimum number of days being one and a half and maximum being eleven days.
During the stay of lord ganesha it is believed that whatever the family consumes it should be first offered to lord ganesha and then to the whole family as a prasad (blessing from lord Ganesh).
During the stay of lord Ganesh also known as Ganpati or Bappa morya all the family members come together to pray during the day and in the evening too.
This promotes togetherness and feeling of belongingness within the family.
This festival not only promotes togetherness but also symbolises eternal faith upon the power of god.
On the last day, the idol of lord Ganesh is immersed in water and is asked to come again next year. This is known as "visarjan" of the idol. It is believed that only the idol goes the soul of Bappa stays within the household to protect the household from any trouble this is the reason lord Ganesh is also know as "vighna harta" meaning the one who take away all the troubles from you.
The whole idea of immersing the idol of lord Ganesh in water symbolises that just like our human body is mud without soul so is the idol. Therefore, The visarjan of only the idol is done and the soul of Bappa morya is believed to stay with the family.
With this, I would like to conclude this post with only one thing
"Ganapati Bappa morya
mangal murti morya"....
Also, don't forget to keep the charm of spirituality on!
tada!
