Ganesh Chaturthi is a Hindu festival spanning 10 days, dedicated to celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, the deity associated with wisdom and prosperity. Commencing on the fourth day of the sixth month in the Hindu calendar, Bhadrapada, typically falling in August–September, the festival is also recognized as Vinayak Chaturthi or Ganeshotsav.

During this festive period, clay idols of Lord Ganesha are ceremoniously installed in homes and temples. Devotees prepare by cleaning their homes, warmly welcoming the idol, and presenting offerings such as flowers, durva grass, modaks, and karanji in worship of Lord Ganesha.
