About Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god people pray to before starting something new. It is held on the fourth day of the waxing moon in Bhadrapada, usually late August or September. Families bring home a clay Ganesha idol, pray to it and offer modak, a sweet dumpling.

Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and Pune, has the biggest public celebrations. Bal Gangadhar Tilak turned it into a public festival in 1893. It is a holiday in Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and several other states, so banks there close.
