Why Is Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrated?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ganesh Chaturthi commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha. Hindu traditions describe Lord Ganesha as the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is worshipped by devotees for several qualities:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Wisdom and knowledge<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Removal of obstacles<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Success in important efforts<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Prosperity and abundance<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Positive beginnings<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mental clarity<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Protection from difficulties<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The festival also has a strong spiritual meaning. It reminds devotees that success is not only about material achievement. Wisdom, discipline, humility and the ability to overcome difficulties are equally important.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This is why Ganesh Puja is traditionally performed before starting a new business, entering a new home, beginning education, getting married or undertaking other important activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
