Tradition: 

Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chavithi. This is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha in the month of August or September every year. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha clay idols privately in homes, or publicly on elaborate pandals(temporary stages). Observations include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts such as prayers and vrata (fasting). After daily prayers, prasadam like modaka is distributed among people by the pandals. The festival ends on the tenth day after a start. The festival celebrates Lord Ganesha as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence.

History: 

It is unclear when the festival started, it became a major social and public event with the sponsorship of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj after Mughal-Maratha wars, and again in the 19th century after a public appeal by Indian freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak, who championed it as a means to circumvent the colonial British government ban on Hindu gatherings through its anti-public assembly legislation in 1892.
