Happy Birthday, Ganesh! ⁠🐘⁠ ⁠ Today begins Ganesh Chaturthi, an auspicious 10-day Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesh. ⁠ ⁠ Ganesh is the god of new beginnings, wisdom, and the remover of obstacles. During this festival, devotees bring Lord Ganesh statues to their homes and worship the god, seeking his blessings for a prosperous and happy life. It is believed that praying to Ganesh helps remove barriers from life and bestows the intelligence of this elephant-headed deity upon them.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 📸 @riccard2222⁠
