Reasons Why Ganesh Chaturthi is Celebrated
1. Celebration of Lord Ganesha's Birth
Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, who symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles. His birth is said to have occurred on this day, and the festival is a way of invoking his blessings for success and well-being.
2. Symbol of Unity and Resistance
During the British colonial rule in India, freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak transformed Ganesh Chaturthi into a public, large-scale event. This helped unify people across castes and communities in Maharashtra and other regions, fostering a sense of national pride and resistance against British oppression.
Interesting Facts About Ganesh Chaturthi's Celebration:
1. Immersive Tradition in India
In major cities like Mumbai, Nagpur and Pune, the festival culminates in a grand procession where thousands of people immerse large idols of Lord Ganesha into water bodies, known as Ganesh Visarjan. This act symbolizes the cycle of creation and dissolution, signifying the temporary nature of life.
2. Growing Popularity in Europe
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations have become popular in cities across Europe, particularly in the UK and France. In London, the festival is celebrated at the iconic Vishwa Hindu Temple, and in Paris, Indian communities gather for processions and rituals. The festival has evolved as a way for the Indian diaspora to connect with their roots while sharing their culture with the local population.
3. Eco-friendly Movement
In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards eco-friendly celebrations, especially in India. Many people now opt for idols made from natural clay and organic materials to avoid water pollution caused by the immersion of plaster-of-Paris idols.
This event was organized by Wolfsburg Marathi Mandal. A grand applause to them.
A lot of events are organised by Brawo Marathi Mandal, HSS Wolfsburg and some more active groups in this region bring in many people away from their motherland together. 👌
