Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations Get A Heartwarming Twist
Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Ganeshotsav, is celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of wisdom and prosperity. The ten-day festival begins with the installation of Ganesh idols on Chaturthi tithi and concludes with Anant Chaturdashi, when the idols are immersed in water amid grand processions.
Traditionally, Lord Ganesh is depicted with a tiny mouse, Mushak, as his vahana, a symbol of humility, wisdom, and overcoming ego. This year, a sleepy cat resting on the idol’s hand added a fresh, heartwarming narrative to the celebrations, reminding devotees that joy and devotion can come in the most unexpected forms.
