Ganesh Chaturthi, the beginning of the 10-day Ganesh festival, is celebrated to seek blessings from Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom and wealth. He is believed to be the remover of obstacles and bestower of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. Traditionally, he is worshipped first, before any other Hindu deity, and there is an interesting legend behind this practice. The mythological manuscripts state that Goddess Parvati created Ganesha to guard her while she bathed. Unaware that Shiva was his father, Ganesha stopped him from entering the bath area. A furious Shiva beheaded the poor boy; however, when he learned the truth, he replaced Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant’s and declared that he would be the Pratham Pujya, the god to be worshipped first, before any other deity. The celebration, therefore, marks the beginning of the Hindu festival season and is considered an auspicious occasion to launch new ventures, undertake higher education, and upgrade lifestyle. The occasion entails cleaning the house, decorating the puja space for installing a clay idol of Ganesha, and carrying out the puja rituals. In fact, it is no longer a household tradition followed in some cultures, but has become a celebration of togetherness, a sign of unity, and cultural heritage. It involves dressing up the idol in traditional clothing and jewellery, and conducting puja and prasad rituals till the immersion day. Since Lord Ganesha is associated with wisdom and wealth, buying gold and silver pooja items, especially those that are symbols of wealth and wisdom, is considered auspicious.
