Significance of the festival...

There are many interesting versions of how Lord Ganesha was born. consistent with Hindu mythology, at some point Lord Shiva and his attendants referred to as Ganas were out hunting. Goddess Parvati, his wife, was alone reception and she or he wanted to require a shower but she was during a dilemma since there have been no attendants to protect the doors of the house. She then created Lord Ganesha from sandalwood paste (some mythologists argue that she created him from dust) and instructed him to protect the doors while she took a shower .

 

When Lord Shiva returned home from hunting, he was annoyed to seek out a guard stopping him from entering his house. The innocent Ganesha had no concept Lord Shiva was Parvati’s husband and was the master of the house. therefore the little guard continued following the instruction that he had received from his creator Parvati. Shiva was offended by Ganesha’s act and during a fit of fury, he stop his head.

 

Soon, Parvati came to understand how Ganesh lost his head and she or he was overwhelmed with sorrow. On hearing, Parvati’s side of the story of how she had created Ganesha to protect the doors while she was she was taking a shower , Lord Shiva realised his mistake and asked one among his attendants to bring the top of the primary animal he saw sleeping with its head towards the north. The attendant returned with the top of an elephant and Shiva restored Ganesha by placing the top on his body. of these events—from Parvati creating Lord Ganesha to Shiva restoring him to life—took place on the fourth day of the new phase of the moon fortnight of Bhadrapada.

 

Other mythologies...

According to another version, Lord Shiva and Parvati created Ganesha as obstacle-averter (vighnahartaa) on the request of the devaganas, in order that they might defeat the demonic forces of the rakshasas.

 

There is a lesser known version of Ganesha’s birth, consistent with which, Parvati fasted for a year to earn Lord Vishnu’s blessing in order that he would grant her the wish of a son. When Lord Vishnu was pleased by her sacrifice and dedication, he announced that he would reincarnate himself as her son. Eventually, Parvati had a son and his birth was celebrated with great enthusiasm where all the gods came to ascertain the charming baby of Lord Shiva and Parvati.

 

Among the guests were Shani (Saturn), the son of Surya (sun), who avoided the baby since Shani was stuck with the gaze of destruction. But Parvati insisted that Shani should check out the baby and when he followed her wish, the unthinkable happened—the baby’s head fell faraway from his body. However, Lord Vishnu brought back the top of an elephant from the banks of the Pushpa-Bhadra river and joined it with the headless body of the baby. Parvati’s child was revived and he was named Ganesha.

 

 

Recent history...

 

However, historians have different opinions about when people started celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi as a puja in India. consistent with some, the founding father of the Maratha Empire Chhatrapati Shivaji first started celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi in great enthusiasm since Lord Ganesha was the Kuladevata (family god) of the Peshwas.

 

 

Centuries later, the festival was reinvented as a logo of the nationalistic movement by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, one among the leaders of the Indian freedom movement. In 1892, the streets of Pune and Mumbai were throbbing with devotees who turned up in huge numbers to celebrate this 10-day festival. The festive fervor instilled a sense of patriotism among the people. United by their devotion for Lord Ganesha, the people even opposed the Britishers who didn't allow such mass gatherings.

 

 

In a first of its kind, the people in Mumbai witnessed British watch helplessly as they took part in elaborate cultural events and non secular gatherings. “My great grandparent wont to tell us stories about how Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated. Ganesh idol was made up of mud and other people left no stones unturned to form it a grand affair. There was a robust political undercurrent that was hard to ignore. People came in groups to pay their tribute to the Lord and prayed silently for the country’s freedom from the Britishers,” said Alok Deshpande, a resident of Mumbai, recollecting fond memories from his childhood together with his great grandparent .
