Festivals build cohesiveness in a group and they educate, break the monopoly of routine and give chance to re-organize body, mind and spirits. Ganesh Chaturthi is one such Hindu festival. The festival marks the birth of beloved elephant headed Lord Ganesha - God of wisdom, prosperity and intelligence; of new beginnings and remover of obstacles.

Lord Ganesh, symbol of wisdom bestows his presence on earth during the festival and removes all obstacles. Lord Ganesh came back to life with the head of an elephant and hence is also called Gajanana, Gajadanta, and Vighnaharta.
