1) Mythology behind Ganesh Chaturthi
One of the most popular festivals of India is Ganesh Chaturthi. School, offices, colleges and shops remain closed during this 10 day celebration. Many Hindus celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at home by worshipping an idol of Lord Ganesha followed by regular aarti and offerings of modak, the favourite sweet of Lord Ganesha. This festival is celebrated once a year with great enthusiasm especially in Maharashtra as Chatrapati Shivaji initiated the festival long ago.
Goddess Parvati went to bathe herself and gave instructions to Ganesha to allow no one to enter. Little Ganesha fought with Lord Shiva and denied him entry. In great anger, Lord Shiva severed little Ganesha’s head from his body. Goddess Parvati got very angry with this and transformed to Goddess Kali, ready to destroy the world. To save the world from destruction, Lord Shiva gave order to his followers that they should go and return with the head of the first animal they find. Followers found an elephant at first sight and took the elephant’s head to Lord Shiva. It was placed on the body of Lord Ganesha and he was brought back to life again to appease Godless Parvati. Ganesha was blessed by all the Lords and Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated for the same reason.
2) Lord Ganesha Worshipped First Always
Lord Ganesha is recognized by his big elephant head, distinct belly, and its mount, a small mouse. He is known as Vignaharta or destroyer of all the problems or obstacles. The long ears of Ganesha signify that he hears whatever his devotees say to him. The elephant head of Ganesha signifies wisdom. Before starting any auspicious task in India, Lord Ganesha is worshipped. For example, Ganesh pujan is conducted before beginning marriage rituals, before opening a business venture, while moving into a new house or a new office space. Even in temples, before worshipping any other God or Goddess, Ganesh is worshipped.
