Today (26/08/2025) marks the beginning of Ganesh Chaturthi.
This ten-day Hindu festival celebrates the deity Ganesha, the god of prosperity and wisdom. Celebrations begin on the fourth day of Bhadrapada, the sixth month of the Hindu calendar. The festival ends on the fourteenth day of the same month. Hindus celebrate in order to receive Ganesha’s blessings.
British Online Archives would like to wish all those celebrating a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi.
