Also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi, the festival is marked with the installation of Lord Ganesha’s murtis in homes and elaborate pandals.

Mehndi holds a deep cultural and spiritual significance during Ganesh Chaturthi, as it symbolises auspiciousness, purity and devotion. Mehndi is traditionally believed to bring good fortune and ward off negative energies. During Ganesh Chaturthi, women and girls adorn their hands with intricate designs of Lord Ganesha, modaks, flowers, swastikas and traditional motifs. These designs are artistic expressions and a way of invoking divine blessings. The cooling nature of henna is also said to calm the mind and body, helping devotees remain focused and peaceful during the ten days of festivities.
