Ganesh Chaturthi is the celebration of Lord Ganesha’s birthday, according to Hindu Mythology, everyone’s favourite elephant-headed lord Ganesha was born on this day. Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi.

According to Hindu calendar Ganesh Chaturthi falls in the month of Bhadra. Lord Ganesha is the god of knowledge, wealth, abundance, and he is also known for removing all obstacles and that is why he is also known as ‘Vighnaharta’ (remover of obstacles).

History of Ganesh Chaturthi

Goddess Parvati created lord Ganesha from clay to guard her palace, while she was resting inside and Lord Shiva came back after several days and he was not able to recognise Ganesha who was guarding the palace of goddess Parvati.

Lord Shiva asked Ganesha to let him meet Parvati, but Ganesha said no. After several attempts Lord Shiva became angry and a battle emerged between the two and after some time angry Shiva beheaded Ganesha.

When goddess Parvati came to know that she became furious when she saw a headless body of Ganesha, Lord Shiva realised his mistake and ordered all the gods to find a soul having its head in the north direction and after some time the Devas came back with an elephant head.

And Lord Shiva joined the elephant head with headless Ganesha and he came back to life.

Ganesha wrote Mahabharata

Many communities celebrate this festival as a mark of the Holy epic Mahabharata. It is believed that Ganesha wrote Mahabharata and Sage Vyas recited it to him and Ganesha demanded Sage Vyas that he will recite the Mahabharata without taking a pause. While Lord Ganesha was penning it all down, his writing instrument broke and he did not have time to fetch a new one so he broke a part of his ivory and used it to finish his writing.

That is why one of the ivory of Lord Ganesha is broken.

It is believed that the entire process took 10 whole days and both Lord Ganesha and Sage Vyas sat through it without any food or water. And on 11th day after he completed the epic, clay was applied over Lord Ganesha’s body, and he was asked to bathe in the river and to mark these ten days Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated and on the 11th day, the idols of lord ganesha made with clay immersed in water.
