Lokmanya Tilak would be a proud man today. The event that he initiated decades ago has grown into the most popular festival of the year. And every year, things just get only big and bigger and planning begins right from the hot, summer days of April and May. Shivaji, the great Maratha ruler, worshipped the Lord to promote a sense of nationalism among his people, the celebrations, somehow lost its flavor following his death. It was Lokmanya Tilak who revived the tradition. He felt this was the ideal way to get the cry for freedom right across all communities and boundaries. And since then the Elephant God has reigned supreme.
Ganesha is the god of good luck and dispeller of problems and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the God of wisdom, wealth, health, celibacy, fertility and happiness. Before making a new beginning, Ganesha is worshipped by one and all. The Elephant God has special significance for all but is very much revered by the people of the cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur etc. Every house has a Ganesha idol installed at the entrance to guard against evil.
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated every year with great pomp and show. Thousands of devotees line up to visit the Ganesha temple to pay their respect at the door of this popular deity. This festival is celebrated in Maharashtra on a large scale with devotion and enthusiasm. So the entire country gets into the mood and the spirit of celebrating ‘Ganesh Chaturthi’, the rhythm on the streets bustling with people is the most divine music ever!
