The nation will today observe Ganesh Chaturthi, a Hindu festival that reveres god Ganesha.
The ten-day festival, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi , falls on the fourth day of the Hindu month Bhadrapada, usually in August or September.
On the last day of the festival, the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in nearby water body.
