Ganesha chaturthi – legends and prayers : Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the

birthday of Lord Ganesh on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the bright fortnight of

Bhadrapada month of Hindu calendar. It is among the most celebrated of the

festivals in India, and perhaps the only one involving general public (others only

involve families and friends and are celebrated privately). It is interesting to note

that the festival was not celebrated until the times of Lokamanya Bal Gangadhar

Tilak, who used it a great means to unite Hindus all over India and educate them the

evils of colonization.

Surprisingly none of the pics above feature the ganesh Vahana, the humble mouse. Strange. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. Have you noticed Ganapati is also a favorite for most artists (I mean the art gallery type) – glass, painting, rock…
