Ganesh

Ganesh Chaturi: The Birthday of Lord Ganesh. The Ganesh Chaturthi is an important Hindu festival. Almost all Hindu worship Ganesha, the god with the elephant head. No activity and no service can begin without his assistance. He is considered the personification of wisdom, luck and success.
Ganesha's special day, his birthday, is Ganesh Chaturthi, which falls on the fourth day of the Hindu month Bhadrapad (most of the time in September). The holiday is the start of a row of a series of major autumn festivals, which follow in October and November. Many believers invite the priest to their house. During the festival the Hindus built statues of Ganesh and set them up at their houses or in the city.
