The colorful Hindu holiday of Ganesh Chaturthi commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the god of knowledge, wealth, and removing obstacles. Celebrated during the month of Bhadrapada (August–September), the festival involves putting exquisitely crafted idols of Ganesha in public and residential areas, carrying out daily rituals, and presenting sweets like Modak. Visarjan, which involves submerging the idol in water as a sincere farewell, marks the end of the celebration. Eco-friendly techniques, like the use of clay idols and recyclable decorations, have gained popularity in recent years. The festival represents community harmony, spiritual devotion, and fresh starts.
