What is Ganesh Chaturthi?
Ganesh Chaturthi, also called Vinayaka Chaturthi, marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to Hindu scriptures:
- Goddess Parvati created Ganesha from clay.
- Lord Shiva unknowingly severed his head in anger.
- To calm Parvati, Shiva replaced the head with that of an elephant.
Since then, Lord Ganesha has been worshipped as the first deity in every puja and ceremony.
