Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Ganesh: the opportunity to attend processions of devotees in traditional dress.
It is one of the main Hindu spiritual festivals. It celebrates the birth of Ganesha, the famous elephant-headed god, son of Shiva and Parvati, and favourite deity of the Hindu cosmogony. It takes place on the fourth day of the Hindu lunar month Bhadrapada between mid-August and mid-September. On this occasion, devotees, in traditional dress, make statuettes of the elephant-headed deity which they carry in procession to rivers or the sea to immerse before sunset. This act symbolizes the rebirth of Ganesha.
