Dharamjaygarh An important ritual of Hinduism, Ganesh Puja, which is believed to be the god of wisdom, art and prosperity as well as knowledge, discretion, Dharma, Karma and victory, will begin this year from August 27 and will end with immersion after 10 days.

    Chaturthi Tithi will start on 26th August at 1:54 and will end on the next day i.e. 27th August at 3:44. According to the Panchang, Puja will start from 27th August. Bappa has 12 names. He is known by the names Sumukh, Ekdant, Kapil, Gan Karnak, Lambodar, Vikat, Vighnaash, Dhum Ketu, Vinayak, Ganadhyaksha, Bhalchand and Gajanan.

   According to the history of Ganesh Ji, Shiv Parvati's son Bappa was born from the paste applied on the body of Goddess Parvati before bathing. Which was given life. Shiv Ji returned home and found the boy as a gatekeeper. And in anger he cut off his head. Later, after Vishnu Ji brought an elephant's head and revived him, Ganesh Ji got an elephant's head.

      It is believed that the creator of Vedas, Maharishi Vyas went to recite the Vedas and Ganeshji kept writing. To prevent the temperature of Ganeshji's body from rising while writing, a fragrant paste was applied on his body. After composing the Vedas and the paste drying up, Ganeshji was bathed by taking a dip in water. Since then, this tradition has been going on here.

           In the Indian political scenario, public Ganesh Utsav was started by freedom revolutionary Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1893 to unite all Hindus and fight against the British. Due to which the festival became a part of social and political movement. According to the Sanatani tradition, Ganesh is invoked by chanting mantras before starting any ritual. Worshiping with a true heart brings happiness, prosperity and well-being in the house.
