While every single thing in life has a first time, every beginning takes us through a lot of new thoughts, new learnings, new strengths, and most importantly new experiences. And, I’m sure most of us have the habit of making a short prayer before starting with anything new, to invoke God’s blessings and set our minds just right. Yes, it’s going to be all about Lord GANESHA, the God of beginnings! This festival is popularly known as Vinayagar Chaturthi in Tamil Nadu, Gowri Ganesha in Karnataka, Ganesh Chavithi in Andhra Pradesh, and Ganapati in Maharashtra, and other northern states of India, celebrating Lord Ganesha who is honored at the beginning of important occasions! 

The festival of Ganesh Chaturti is magnificently celebrated by his devotees all over the world with great joy and fervor. Apart from decorating the idols and performing aarti at home, ceremonious processions will take place in various places. And not to forget Lord Ganesha’s most favorite Kozhukattai/Modak, Moti Choor Laddus, and Sundal(chickpeas) without which the festival is never complete!! Glorious pooja celebrations, colorful adornments, drooling delicacies, and special gifts & return gifts, every element of this festival is fab enough to melt our hearts away…!
