The Ganesh Chathurthi festival, celebrated in the Bhadrapada month of the Hindu calendar, marks the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati. This much-awaited festival is also known by the names Vinayak Chaturthi and Ganeshotsav.

It starts with the installation of a clay idol of Lord Ganesh in homes and public places, culminating with a public procession and immersion (visarjan) of the idol in a river or sea on the day of Anant Chaturdasi.

This year, Ganesh Chaturthi festivities are scheduled to commence on September 19.
