❀ Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as 'Vinayak Chaturthi'.

❀ Ganesh Utsav is celebrated for ten days from Bhadrapada Chaturthi date i.e. Anant Chaturdashi.

❀ This festival is celebrated with great joy in Maharashtra but now it is also celebrated with great joy in South India and North India. People establish the Murti of Ganesh in their home, street, locality with reverence and daily make the atmosphere devotional by their worship, aarti and colorful programs.

❀ After three, five or ten days the idol is immersed. There is a belief behind immersion that the way guests come to the house, they bring something in the same way, we also call God to our home every year, if they come into the house then they definitely bring something for everyone. There is prosperity and happiness in the house.

❀ Ganapati - Gan + Pati. 'pati' means a follower. The word 'Gana' has various meanings - according to Maharishi Panini: 'Gana', that is, a group of Ashtavastus. Vasu means Disha, Dikpal (protector of directions) or Dikadeva. Hence Ganpati means pati of directions, Bhagwan.

❀ No deity can come from any direction without the permission of Ganpati, therefore Ganpati worship is mandatory before any mangal karya or worship of the deity. Only after the liberation of all directions by Ganpati can the deity worshiped come to the place of worship. This method is called Mahadwar Pujan or Mahaganapati Pujan.

❀ No work starts without worshiping Bhagwan Ganpati. Ganesha, revered as the deviating deity, is the deity to remove all obstacles and fulfill all desires.

Mythology:
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Bhagwan Ganesha. Once Bhagwan Shiva angrily cut off the head of his son Ganesha. But then the head of an elephant baby was attached to his torso. In this way Bhagwan Ganesha regained his life. This day is celebrated as Ganesh Chaturthi. On the day of Annat Chaturdashi i.e. on the 11th day, with Ganesh Visarjan, Ganesha Bhagwan is sent off and the next year is expected to come soon.

Shriganesh is the God who provides sukh, samridhi, intelligence and happiness. Just as a small fraction of oil in a drop of water, it cannot dissolve completely in water, similarly, until the Ganpati devotee assimilates all the characteristics of Ganpati, he cannot be identical with Ganpati.
