Ganesh Chaturthi, Mumbai
|| Banganga Festival || Elephanta Festival || Ganesh Chaturthi || Kala Ghoda Festival ||
Ganesh Chaturthi is considered as a blessed day as Lord Ganesha appears to confer happiness to the people on this day. It is also called Vinayaka Chaturthi and it is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha. The festival is observed for 10 days which starts from Shukla Chaturthi and continues till Ananta Chaturdashi. The festival falls on the fourth day of Bhadrapada which is somewhere between August and September.
Mumbai which is considered as the financial hub of India commemorates this festival in a really extravagant style along with utmost devotion. During the festival, the streets of Mumbai bustle with devotees and it is filled with huge pandals which are set up on the streets of Mumbai housing the idol of Lord Ganesha who is also known as the Lord of Good Fortune, Beginnings, Prosperity and Wisdom. Every nook and corner of Mumbai appears to be drenched in the celebration, enthusiasm and excitement. The preparations for the festival begin 2-3 months prior the event and it starts with the making of the clay models of the Lord.
During the festival time, the idol of Lord Ganesha is placed on an elevated platform in the homes of the people as well as in the outdoor canopies where the devotees come to seek the blessings of the Lord. The priest sitting at the canopies wears a red silk dhoti and they invoke life in the idol of the Lord by chanting various mantras. This is followed by Shhodashopachara which means 16 ways of paying tribute to the Lord. Later on, the idol of Lord Ganesha is smeared with red unguent which is known as rakta chandan. While performing all the rituals, hymns from various scriptures like Ganpati Atharva Shirsha and Ganesh Stotra are also chanted.
Hence, for 10 days continuously Lord Ganesha is rigorously worshipped in Mumbai along with whole hearted devotion. On the 11th day, the image of Lord Ganesha is taken out into a procession which is attended by a large number of devotees who sing and dance their hearts content fully. The farewell procession is carried out with great vigor and exuberance. Throughout the procession, the devotees yell slogans like Ganpati Bappa Morya. In the end, the idol is immersed into the sea with reverence. The most popular immersion place of the idol is the Chowpatty Beach in Mumbai.
