Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai
Any conversation about the culture and traditions of Mumbai would be incomplete without mentioning Ganesh Chaturthi. Lord Ganesh Festival or Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati. Devotees believe that the lord will bestow his presence upon them during this occasion. In Mumbai, Ganesh Utsav is celebrated in almost every household with great pride, faith, and zeal.
The Significance of Lord Ganesha
Lord Ganesha plays a vital role in Hinduism. As the god of prosperity, wealth, and knowledge, devotees invoke his blessings before starting any critical venture in life. Ganesha is also referred to by different names like Vinayaka, Vighnaharta, and Gajanana, which is why the festival is also called Vinayaka Chaturthi. The history of the occasion dates back to the reign of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Peshwas were devotees of Ganesha and they started the celebration of the Ganesh festival in Pune. It was observed in the rest of Maharashtra as well until the British Raj banned public celebrations. Later, Lokmanya Tilak, the social reformer and freedom fighter, revived the festival, and it returned to being a public celebration. Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai is a wholesome event as people across the city come together in devotion to Lord Ganesha. It is that cherished time of the year when people are filled with hope for a prosperous and promising future.
Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations
Lord Ganesh Festival falls during the months of August and September. It lasts for ten days, during which time devotees pray to the Lord Ganesha idol in their homes. The celebrations come to an end on the fourteenth day of the waxing moon, known as Anant Chaturdashi.
A grand farewell procession takes place after ten days where devotees chant “Ganapati Bappa Moraya” and dance to the beat of drums while carrying an idol of Lord Ganesha to the nearest water body. The idol is then immersed in water, signaling his return to his heavenly abode.
