Vinayak Chaturthi, also known as Ganesh Chaturthi, is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha. It is observed with great enthusiasm and devotion across India, especially in the state of Maharashtra. The festival typically lasts for 10 days, culminating with the visarjan (immersion) of Ganesha idols in water bodies.

Vinayak Chaturthi is marked by grand processions, elaborate decorations, and traditional music and dance performances. Devotees offer prayers and modak (a sweet delicacy) to Lord Ganesha, seeking his blessings for prosperity and success. The festival is a time of joy and celebration, bringing communities together in worship and camaraderie.
