History
When Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was the Maratha ruler, this grand public festival was first originally organised to oppose the Mughals and foster nationalistic emotions. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a well-known independence warrior and Indian nationalist leader, encouraged the celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi later on, in 1893. He transformed the idea of celebrating this event from a private one to a spectacular one in order to unify both the Brahmins and the Non-Brahmins and come together against the British.
Why is it Celebrated?
Most of India observes Ganesh Chaturthi as a day to honour the god of insight, wisdom, fortune, and prosperity. On this day, the worshippers & followers of Lord Ganesh offer various sweets especially “Modak”, which is said to be the favourite sweet of the birthday boy “Lord Ganesha”, in the form of prasad along with some fruits and treats. The preparations of the auspicious day start months before its actual coming, very huge to small clay statues or idols of Ganesha are prepared by the artisans well in advance which is later brought home to worship by the followers of the Lord Ganesha & is worshipped for 10 days.
After the celebrations are done, it is usual to submerge these idols in water which is called “Visarjan” as a goodbye while praying for the elephant headed god to return to his loving followers the following year by chanting “Ganpati Bappa Moriya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya” which translates into "GoodBye Lord for now, please come back soon next year".
