Important Points for Devotees
This festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is extremely important for devotees, as celebrating it removes all their troubles and brings happiness and peace to the home.

Therefore, devotees should pay special attention to the timing of the puja. Also, there is an opportunity to worship and serve Bappa for the entire ten days, which is considered very auspicious.
Cultural Significance of Ganpati Puja
Ganesh Chaturthi is not just a religious festival, but it is also a major festival socially and culturally. During this time, various types of cultural programs, dances, music, and folk festivals take place, which work to connect the community. Ganesh Ji is worshipped as the remover of obstacles, the god of knowledge, and the symbol of new beginnings, so this festival brings new energy and enthusiasm to everyone's life.
