Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most loved and widely celebrated Hindu festivals. Dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the festival fills homes, temples, and streets with devotion, music, prayers, and celebration. Lord Ganesha is worshipped as the God of wisdom, knowledge, prosperity, and new beginnings. He is also known as Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles. This is why Hindus traditionally worship him before beginning an important journey, ceremony, business, or new chapter in life
