Ganesh Chaturthi | Hindu is one of the biggest festivals and yet the whole country is waiting for the God of Wisdom to be seen. This festival is celebrated with enthusiasm all over the country.

The festival, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi or Vinayak Chavithi, is an 11-day festival that begins on the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi in the month of Bhadrapada which falls in the month of August or September of the Gregorian calendar.

Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the biggest festivals in Indian which is celebrated with great devotion, enthusiasm and penance.
It is said that on this day, Lord Shiva considered his son Lord Ganesha to be one of the most powerful and superior deities.

In Hindu belief, Lord Ganesha is considered a symbol of wisdom, wisdom, fortune and prosperity. Lord Ganesha is worshiped before starting any major activity or event to ensure success and success.

When it comes to Ganesh Chaturthi, elder people say that we should not see the moon in the sky on this particular day. But do you know why? If you don’t know the reason, read the interesting story below:

  • It is said that the moon god Chandra, once very beautiful and proud of his form, tried to make fun of Lord Ganesha by making sarcastic remarks. Chandra commented on Lord Ganesha’s look and said that Ganesha has got a big belly and an elephant’s head.
    Hearing all these, Lord Ganesha decides to realize his mistake and punish Chandra for being polite and humble.
  • So, Lord Ganesha cursed Chandra that no one would worship the Moon and that anyone who sees the Moon would face false accusations and suffer bad names even if innocent.
  • Hearing this punishment, Chandra was shattered and devastated; His rudeness and arrogance vanished in an instant. Chandra, along with other deities, began to apologize to worship Lord Ganesha and make him happy again.
  • Finally, Lord Ganesha was pleased and decided to free Chandra from the curse, but with a clause. He said that man can see the moon on any day except the day of ‘Bhadrapada Chaturthi’. He said that whoever sees the moon on Bhadrapada Chaturthi will face false charges.
  • Since that day, ‘Bhadrapada Chaturthi’ is celebrated as Ganesh Chaturthi. Anyone who accidentally sees the moon on Bhadrapada Chaturthi can worship Lord Ganesha and follow sacred rituals and will get rid of the curse by listening/listening to the story of Ganesh Chaturthi.

Interestingly, religious texts state that looking at the moon at the beginning of an auspicious day is a bad omen and people do this to avoid falsehood. This means that there is a curse that can falsely implicate a person to steal something.

Let’s hear the story (Katha)

When Lord Ganesha was returning home with his vahana (a mask or a muskha) on the moonlit night of Chaturthi in the month of Bhadrapada, the moon god enjoyed the Lord’s round belly and his vana. Miffed with the moon god for laughing at him, Lord Ganesha cursed him saying that his light would never fall on the earth.

Fearing that he would lose his existence, the Moon God apologized, but since Ganesha had already cursed him, he would not rule it out completely. Therefore, he said that seeing the moon on Chaturthi would be good as a curse.

According to a legend, Shri Krishna also faced the impact of Mithya Dosha after seeing the moon on Chaturthi. He was accused of stealing the precious gem Syamantaka. Sage Narada, who came to know about the curse of Lord Ganesha, asked Shri Krishna to fast to remain unaffected.
