Lord Ganesha's chaturthi this year falls on 27Aug ,2006 ; and people all over India await enthusiastically for this grand festival. Its that time where idol of Ganesha is bought ,decorated and prayers are offerred.This goes on for 10 days , and then the ganesha idol is immeresed in river /sea water amidst chanting of "Ganapathi bapa maurya ,agala baras tu jaldi ya" which literally means Oh lord Ganesha! please come again and again.
Its a festival where a common pandal is setup where people from different sections of society come together ,offer prayers , sing bhajans ,meet different people, eat sumptuous food especialy the modak which is a sweet specially served , and then finally do the visarjan(immersion ) of idol in water.
It is said that at ganesh chaturthi , one is not supposed to see the moon , as it causes defamation for an individual(s) however innocent he may be.Even the great lord krishna was accused of stealing Syamantak Mani because of looking at the moon at the chaturthi night .Even if one sees he can overcome its effect rea here
So enjoy the festival and be caution :-)
Finally saying adieu with Ganapathi bapa maurya.....
