Ganesh Chaturthi is being celebrated on September 14, this year. The Hindu festival marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity who is worshipped as the god of wisdom, prosperity, and the remover of obstacles.
The 10-day festival will conclude on September 25, with Anant Chaturdashi, which marks the final day of the celebrations and the traditional immersion of Ganpati idols, known as Ganesh Visarjan.
