Historical Background

• According to legend, Ganesh was made out of
  sandalwood paste by Goddess Parvathi who put him
  on guard when she went to take a bath. Lord
  Shiva, upon his return, would not be allowed to
  pass through by the obedient child. Angered at
  this behavior, Lord Shiva immediately severed the
  little ones head. Goddess Parvathi came to know
  of this and was left heartbroken, leading her
  husband to promise that he would resurrect
  Ganesh. His followers were sent out with
  instructions to bring back a childs head but all
  that they could find was the head of a baby
  elephant. That led to the rebirth of Lord Ganesh
  with the head of an elephant.

Traditions

• The weeks building up to the festivities of
  Ganesh Chaturthi are full of excitement. Clay
  idols of Lord Ganesh are made and painted over by
  the people. Pranapratishhtha is the first event
  that takes place with priests chanting holy
  mantras. Next up is a 16-step ritual known as
  Shodasopachara Puja during which offerings
  considered to be favorites of the God are placed
  in front of His idol.
• It is also very common to see pandals being put
  up across many localities with huge statues of
  Lord Ganesh and creative Ganesh Puja decoration
  ideas being implemented.

Uttarpuja

• The end of the festivities is marked by a ritual
  called Uttarpuja. At the end of this, the idols
  are immersed in water in what is known as Ganpati
  Visarjan. Devotees chant slogans that are a sign
  of their respect towards him. During the
  immersion procession, people indulge in a great
  deal of dancing, singing, and merry making which
  is a hallmark of the moment.
