The auspicious festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated to welcome Lord Ganesha. Lord Ganesha comes every year on earth for the well being of his devotees and bless them with his blessings. Lord Ganesha is considered the God of intelligence and wealth. Whether it is the beginning of any new endeavor or a journey, Lord Ganesha is always remembered. The reason behind doing so is that Ganesha is also known as “Vighnaharta” (one who removes troubles).
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in the Bhadrapada month. This day is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi. Celebration of this festival goes on for a period of 10 continuous days and ends with Anant Chaturdashi. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated mainly in Maharashtra. During these 10 days, the enthusiasm and zeal for Ganesh Chaturthi could be easily witnessed here.
Lord Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha was crafted by Goddess Parvati from sandalwood (Chandan) paste, for her protection. Once Parvati had to go for bath and to make sure nobody enters inside, she instructed Lord Ganesha to stand at the door. While Ganesha was guarding the door, Lord Shiva arrived and tried to go inside. As Lord Ganesha wasn’t aware about the Lord, he stopped him from going inside. Ganesha’s this act frustrated Shiva and in extreme anger, he chopped off Ganesha’s head. However, after knowing the truth from Maa Parvati, Lord Shiva realized his mistake and replaced the head of Ganesha with an elephant’s head and Ganesha became alive. It is said that from that day, it was declared that Lord Ganesha would always be worshiped before worshiping other deities.
The grand celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as “Ganesh Utsav” which starts from the establishment of Lord Ganesha idol. Large stalls are imposed in which Ganesha’s idol is established. Devotees worship Lord Ganesha with full devotion and heart. On this special day, variety of sweets are prepared and offered to Lord Ganesha. People from all over the world come together to honor the Lord. To enjoy the day to the fullest, devotees sing traditional songs and dance. People worship Lord Ganesha by reciting the Ganesha Mantra and offer Modak (Ladoo), coconut and other sweets to the Lord.
After the true devotion of 10 days, comes the day to bid final goodbye to Lord Ganesha, which is known as Anant Chaturdashi. On this day, Lord Ganesha’s idol is submerged in water.
Lord Ganesha Mantra
वक्रतुंड महाकाय कोटिसूर्यसमप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Ward Off Ketu’s Negativity
“Worshiping Lord Ganesha is very important for nullifying malefic effects of Ketu. If you are suffering from Ketu’s major-period or sub-period, or if there are problems related to business, job or health, chant the Mantra “ॐ गं गणपतये नमः” 21000 times on this sacred day. Offer Doob Grass, (also known as Durva) and Motichoor Laddoo to Lord Ganesha. Perform Havan with the one tenth part of the Mantra and offer food to Brahmins. You will be liberated from all problems related to Ketu.”
