The festival of Ganesh
Chaturthi is celebrated the states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and
Andhra Pradesh and many other parts of India. Started by Chatrapati
Shivaji Maharaja, the great Maratha ruler, to promote culture and nationalism,
the festival was revived by Lokmanya Tilak (a freedom fighter) to spread the
message of freedom struggle and to defy the British who had banned public
assemblies. The festival gave the Indians a feeling of unity and revived their
patriotic spirit and faith. This public festival formed the background for
political leaders who delivered speeches to inspire people against the Western
rule. The festival is so popular that the preparations begin months in advance.
Ganesha statues installed
in street corners and in homes, and elaborate arrangements are made for
lighting, decoration, mirrors and the most common of flowers. Poojas (prayer
services) are performed daily. The artists who make the idols of Ganesh compete
with each other to make bigger and more magnificent and elegant idols. The
relevantly larger ones are anything from 10 meters to 30 meters in height.
These statues are then carried on decorated floats to be immersed in the sea
after one, three, five, seven and ten days. Thousands of processions converge
on the beaches to immerse the holy idols in the sea. This procession and
immersion is accompanied by drum- beats, devotional songs and dancing.
