Ganapati Festival



16.10.10

India is primarily an agrarian society and hence most of its festivals ride piggyback on the agricultural cycle.The end of monsoon heralds the beginning of festivities. Among the first major Hindu festivals is Ganesh Chaturthi, where the elephant headed Hindu deity Ganesha is worshipped. On all auspicious occassions the blessings of this deity is invoked and worshipped first.
