2-3 months prior to the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, Life-like clay models of Lord Ganesha are made for sold by specially skilled artisans. They are beautifully decorated & depict Lord Ganesh in various poses. The size of these idols may vary from 3/4th of an inch to over 25 feet.
Ganesh Chaturthi starts with the installation of these Ganesh idols in colorfully decorated homes and specially erected temporary structures mantapas (pandals) in every locality. The pandals are erected by the people or a specific society or locality or group by collecting monetary contributions. The mantapas are decorated specially for the festival, either by using decorative items like flower garlands, lights, etc or are theme based decorations, which depict religious themes or current events. The idols are worshiped with families and friends.
The priest, usually clad in red silk dhoti and shawl, then invokes life into the idol amidst the chanting of mantras. This ritual is the Pranapratishhtha. After this the ritual called as Shhodashopachara (16 ways of paying tribute) follows. Coconut, jaggery, 21 modakas, 21 durva (trefoil) blades of grass and red flowers are offered. The idol is anointed with red unguent, typically made of Kumkum & Sandalwood paste . Throughout the ceremony, Vedic hymns from the Rig Veda, the Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad, and the Ganesha stotra from the Narada Purana are chanted.
For 10 days, from Bhadrapad Shudh Chaturthi to the Ananta Chaturdashi, Ganesha is worshipped. Sponsored Links
On the 11th day, the idol is taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing, and fanfare to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of his devotees. All join in this final procession shouting "Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukar ya" (O father Ganesha, come again early next year). After the final offering of coconuts, flowers and camphor is made, people carry the idol to the river to immerse it.
The main sweet dish during the festival is the modak ([modagam]or modakam in South India). A modak is a dumpling made from rice flour/wheat flour with a stuffing of fresh or dry-grated coconut, jaggery, dry fruits and some other condiments. It is either steam-cooked or fried. Another popular sweet dish is the karanji (karjikaiin Kannada) which is similar to the modak in composition and taste but has a semicircular shape.
Public celebrations of the festival are hugely popular, with local communities (mandalas) vying with each other to put up the biggest idol & the best pandal. The festival is also the time for cultural activities like songs, dramas and orchestra and community activities like free medical checkup, blood donation camps, charity for the poor, etc.
Today, the Ganesh Festival is not only a popular festival - it has become a very critical and important economic activity for Maharashtra. Many artists, industries, and businesses survive on this mega-event. Ganesh Festival also provides a stage for budding artists to present their art to the public. The same holds true for Hyderabad too.
For the year 2007 in the Western Calendar, Ganesha Chaturthi commenced on Saturday, September 15th and its allied festival for Ganesha's mother, Gauri (a form of Parvathi) called Gauri Puja comes on September 13th (the day before) [1].

Lord Ganesha
Lord Ganesh, who is also known by various other names such as Ganapathi, Vinaayaka or Vighneswara, is the God who helps us overcome obstacles in life. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi. He is the elephant faced God who is worshipped as the very first deity before beginning any ceremony, ritual or vow. Worshipping Ganapathi endows man with the courage and confidence needed to enter upon and carry through any undertakings in the world. So it is only appropriate that every rite or ceremony or project should be started with the worship of this God. According to the Puranas (epics), this was a boon conferred upon Him by Lord Shiva.

Ganapathi has the head of an elephant and has a mouse as a vehicle. The elephant is well known for its intelligence. It also acts as guide to mankind in the sense that it clears the way as it treads along in a dense forest. Similarly, in the forest of life, to clear the thorny bushes of pain, sorrow and suffering, one should tread along the path shown by intellect. Ganapathi has the elephant face as a symbol of high intelligence that can guide us on the right path.
The mouse (mooshika) is a symbol of darkness. Because Vinaayaka has control over the darkness, He is described as the rider on a mouse (mooshika). The mouse is also a symbol of the sense of smell. It moves about following the direction of the smell (vaasana). Vinaayaka is the One who has mastery over our Vaasanas, that is desires and ignorance (represented by mooshika).
He is called Ganapathi because He is the supreme Lord of the Ganas (Ganas are the embodiments of the organs of perception - Jnanendriyas - and of action - Karmendriyas). "Ga" means Buddhi (intellect). "Na" means "Vijnana" (wisdom). "Pathi" means master. Hence, another meaning for Ganapathi is master of the intellect and wisdom. He is called Vinayaka because He has no master above Him. He is also known as Vighneswara as He is the remover of obstacles (Vighna). Lord Ganesha has all the five elements under His control. He is the embodiment of all potencies. He has no superior above Him. He is the Pranava Swarupa (embodiment of Aum). Hence, the first prayer is always addressed to Him.

This beautiful temple is situated at Prabhadevi area of Mumbai, this popular temple dedicated to Ganesh was rebuilt on the site of a 200-year old temple. This temple was first consecrated on Thursday 19th November 1801. Siddhatekcha Shri Siddhi Vinayak is considered to be one of the Ashta Vinayak shrines of Maharashtra, celebrating eight instances of legends related to Ganesha.Siddhivinayak is also one of the names of Ganapati. Siddhtek is a remote little village along the river Bhima which flows southwards in the Ahmednagar district and Karjat taluka in Maharashtra. One remarkable thing about the river is that however rapid its flow it does not make any sound while flowing. The Siddhivinayak at Siddhtek is considered an especially powerful deity. It is believed that it was here on the Siddhtek Mountain, that Vishnu acquired Siddhi. At Siddhatek Lord ganesh gave Darshan to God Vishnu.The temple is said to have been built by Lord Vishnu. Near the temple there are small temples of other Gods Like God Shiva, Goddess Shitala, Lord Vishnu.
Siddhi Vinayak temple devoted to Ganesh, the elephant-headed God of Good Fortune is located at Prabhadev in Mumbai. Temples dedicated to Ganesh are very famous as Shree Ganesh is the first to be worshipped before beginning any new project or venture as he Vighnaharta, the destroyer of obstacles. Tuesday is the main day of darshan and puja, but this temple is frequented by hundreds of devotees everyday.. Even the never-ending long hours of wait do not discourage the devot from seeking the blessing of Lord Ganesha. Shree Siddhinvinayak is the source of all arts, knowledge and intelligence. Prayers are offered to Shree Ganesh before any other worship or before any auspicious work. Prayers to Shree Siddhivinayak from Kakad Arti in the morning to Shayanarti in the nights evokes Ashtasatvi Bhav in the devotees.
LegendLegend has it Mahavishnu who was engaged in a serious battle against the demons Madhu and Kaitabha, was dismayed by his inability to bring the battle to a quick and decisive finish. Shiva advised him to propitate Ganesha. Upon doing so, Ganesha appeared on the battlefield, and his appearance strengthened Mahavishnu's resolve and abilities and enabled him to vanquish the demons with ease. Ganesha's appearance on the battlefield is marked by the Siddhivinayak shrine at Siddhatek, said to be capable of granting Siddhi. Mahavishnu is worshipped as the destroyer of the demons Madhu and Kaitabha at Tiruvallur near Chennai in Tamilnadu, and as the restorer of the Vedas from the same demons, at Indalur in Mayiladuturai near Thanjavur again in Tamilnadu, both these temples being over 1200 years old. Another Legend,It is said that, years ago there was a heap of ashes from this sacrificial fire. However, this place is now covered by water. The road leading to the main temple was built by the Peshwa's Senapati Haripant Phadke. Shree Siddhivinayak's temple is on a hill top facing north. The sanctum of the temple, which is fifteen feet high & ten feet broad was built by Ahilyabai Holkar.The swayambhu idol of Shree Siddhivinayaka is placed in a brass frame. Brass idols of Jay & Vijay are placed on both sides of Siddhivinayaka. In the sanctum itself there is a Shivapanchayatan & goddess Shivai's small temple. The hall of the temple was previously built by Baroda's landlord late Shri Mairal. It was broken in 1939 & was rebuilt by Ganesh's devotees in 1970. Nagarkhana on the main gate was built in memory of Shree Haripant Phadke.
Architecture The temple as it stands now was re-constructed five years ago after deliberations with experts on Hindu religion and customs, so as to maintain the sanctity of the idol as per the Hindu Shastras. The temple has a Kalash, which is a pointed dome of 12 feet high Gabhara (sanctum sanctorum) weighing 1500Kgs and plated in gold. The Kalash, which adorned the earlier temple was lowered with proper rituals and is kept as an exhibit within the temple premises. The devotees earn the satisfaction of seeking the blessing of The Lord by taking a devoted look at the Kalash. The idol has not been touched in the process of rebuilding the temple, so as to ensure that there is no human transgression in the area from the point at which the idol is situated. The Gabhara of the new temple structure has been designed with an aim to attain maximum convenience and comfort for the devotees. It is a spacious enclosure with 3 main doors of about 13 feet height. This facilitates the 'Darshan' of Sri Siddhivinayak from either the area surrounding the Gabhara or the stage (Sabha Mandap) constructed to conduct pujas and festivities. The area surrounding the Gabhara has been designed as a sitting area and the stage adjoining the same is utilised as a platform for common Darshan sought by the devotees who are unable to spend hours in serpentine queues to go inside the Gabhara. It is an octagonal enclosure, about 10 feet wide consisting of a silver plated Makhar (a smaller structure within the Gabhara housing the idol of The Lord). The dome inside the Gabhara is gold plated - designed to enhance the beauty of the idol. An exquisite chandelier lights up the Gabhara, making it a sight never to be forgotten. The three main doors, which are used for entry and exit by the devotees, are made of perforated wood, depicting Ashta Ganapati, Ashta Laxmi and Dashavatar. The priests and the employees assisting them to carry routine functions use the two side doors. The first floor of the five-storied structure comprises of a mezzanine gallery, from where Darshan of The Lord can be easily obtained. It is also used for performing pujas, and Abhisheks on Tuesday, Sankashti Chaturthi and Angaraki Chaturthi.
About the DeityThe idol of Ganpati has four arms therefore He is also called Chaturbhuj. A lotus is held in the upper right hand symbolises auspicious piety and a small axe in the upper left, a holy rosary of beads (Japmala) are held in the lower right and a bowl full of Modaks (a delicacy which is a perennial favorite with Sri Siddhivinayak) in the lower left. The seated glowing idol of Shree Siddhivinayak with deity on both sides are Riddhi and Siddhi, a sign of great purity and power or ?jagrata?. On the forehead of the deity there is an eye, which resembles the third eye of Lord Shiva. Shree Siddhivinayak himself follows Bhramhatva. His snake shaped sacred thread with Brair Tej bestows knowledge & wisdom to all. Lord Shiva has provided his dutiful son Shree Siddhivinayak with his fiery eye to destroy evil (thoughts) from within the wicked. This is a unique feature this particular vigilant deity. It cannot be seen in any other Ganesh idol. The idol of Shree Siddhivinayak is of black stone and is 2.5 feet high and 2 feet wide, with the trunk on the right is considered to be the dynamic form of Ganpati. The idol is Gajmukh, however the belly of the idol is not big. Riddhi & Siddhi are sitting on each lap of Vinayaka. The face is very calm & serene. The statue is in one corner of a hillock. The pradakshana (circumnavigation) of this God is said to be very fruitful. One has to travel 5 km to complete one Pradkshana as the idol is attached to the hill itself. Devotees who wish to circumambulate the temple have to go round the entire hillock. This takes about thirty minutes. The idol made of black stone was placed in a small structure; the existing temple was rebuilt on the site of a 200-year old temple. The sanctum sanctorum housing the deity was altered time and again and finally gave way to a monolithic and magnificent structure, which was accomplished by a series of rituals, which lasted a fortnight.

Ganapatipulé (गणपती पुळे in Marathi) is a small town located in the district of Ratnagiri on the Konkan coast of Maharashtra. The town of Chiplun is to its north. According to local folklore, the Hindu god - Ganapati गणपती, taking umbrage by a remark made by a native lady, moved to Pulé पुळे (a few km ahead of the town) from his original abode of Gulé. Thus the region was named Ganpati-pulé.
