About the Event
Dear members and friends of Manawa Bharti,
We cordially invite you to join us in celebrating Ganesh Utsav 2024 on the 7th followed by visargan 8th of September 2024 at Manawa Bharti temple
Ganesh Utsav, also known as Ganesh Chaturthi, is a significant Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the deity of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune. ord Ganesha, also known as Ganapati or Vinayaka, is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. He is widely worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the patron of arts and sciences. Ganesha is also honored as the god of beginnings, which is why his blessings are invoked at the start of any new venture or journey.
The festival is marked by the installation of Ganesha idols in homes and public places, followed by prayers, cultural performances, and community activities. It is a time of joy, devotion, and togetherness, as we seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha for a prosperous and harmonious life.
This year we have planned a multiple days of activites and events
