Ganesh Chaturthi 2022

 The festival of Lord Ganesha, the god of knowledge, wisdom, prosperity and good fortune, is about to begin . Chaturthi date of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month is considered very important. This date is dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the birthday of Ganpati Bappa is celebrated on this day. According to Hindu scriptures, Ganapati Bappa was born on the Chaturthi date of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. After starting from Ganesh Chaturthi, Ganesh Utsav is celebrated for a full 10 days. On Ganesh Chaturthi Tithi, People establish Lord Ganesha in their homes on auspicious time. Devotees worship Vighnaharta Ganesha according to the rituals for 10 days and on the tenth day immerse his idol in a holy river, lake or lake. Ganeshotsav is celebrated with great pomp in India. The glories of Ganesh Chaturthi are seen everywhere. People worship him by keeping a fast on Ganesh Chaturthi.


The beginning of Ganesh festival is mainly considered to be 1893. But even before 1893, Ganesh Utsav was celebrated. Although or on a smaller scale. People used to worship Ganapati on this occasion only in their homes. At that time Ganesh Utsav was not celebrated with pomp with big events and Ganpati was not established in pandals etc. Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak who was known as a young revolutionary leader. Whenever he used to give a speech on any stage, he used to fire on British occasions. For the struggle of Swaraj, Tilak wanted to make his point known to the people. But for this he needed a public platform, where he could reach his ideas to as many people as possible. For this Tilak chose Ganpati festival.

This year Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on Wednesday 31st August 2022. Ganesh Utsav is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha. The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated every year with great pomp. During this, Gajanan is enshrined from the temple to the houses and localities. Devotees duly worship Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune, on this very special day. During the worship, they are offered vermilion, sandalwood, yagnopaveet, durva, laddus or sweets made of jaggery etc. Various types of worship of Ganesha on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi and through these remedies, the defects of harmful planets like Mercury and Ketu can be rectified.

According to another story, no one was ready to marry Lord Ganesha because of his body structure. Ganapati started creating obstacles in the marriage of the deities. Due to this behavior of Ganapati, the deities reached Brahmaji with their problems. Brahmaji sent his two Manas daughters Riddhi and Siddhi to Ganesha to take education from him. When the information of someone's marriage reached in front of Ganesh ji, Riddhi and Siddhi would distract their attention. All the marriages were completed without any hindrance, but when Ganesha came to know about this, he got angry at Riddhi and Siddhi and started cursing them. Then Brahma ji proposed marriage to Riddhi-Siddhi in front of Ganapati. Ganesh ji accepted it. In this way Ganapati had two wives.


In 1761, the wife of Maharaja Madho Singh's wife ji had established Moti Dungri Ganesh ji from Mavli. There were many wars before the establishment of Ganesh ji in Jaipur. The Marathas had captured Jaipur and the entire treasury of the king was emptied. And the atmosphere of unrest had spread. After that from Mavli, Ganesh ji was established in Moti Dungri in Jaipur, after that all the problems faced by the people in Jaipur and the attacks on the subjects were removed by Ganesh ji.Seth Paliwal ji brought Ganesh ji to Jaipur, then on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi he established Ganesh ji by doing installations from scholars. Since then it has become recognized among the people. If anyone had any marriage or auspicious work, people would first come to invite Ganesh ji and offer offerings to Ganesh ji. Any auspicious work is not considered possible without Ganesh ji. I personally have been there many times and it is an amzing vibe there.   Here are some glimpse of Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple Jaipur.
