Why do we celebrate Ganesh Utsav for 10 days?
According to ancient scriptures, Ganesh Chaturthi It commemorates the birth anniversary of Ganapati, son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The Ganesh Festival consists of 10 days of meticulous worship of Ganpati, during which all the devotee’s tasks are believed to be successfully accomplished.
A mythological story goes that sage Vedavyasa invoked Ganesh Ji to transcribe the Mahabharata. While Vyasa recited verses, Ganapati wrote them down without interruption for 10 days, accumulating a layer of dust. On the tenth day, known as Anant Chaturdashi, Ganesh Ji bathed in the Saraswati River, purifying himself, and this practice became the tradition of celebrating Ganesh Utsav for 10 days.
