Ganesh Chaturthi is a Hindu festival celebrating the annual arrival of the Hindu god Ganesha to earth from his celestial abode. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha’s clay murtis privately in homes and publicly on elaborate pandals. The festival ends on the tenth day after start, when the idol is carried in a public procession, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea, called visarjan. Thereafter the clay idol dissolves and Ganesha is believed to return to his celestial abode. GD Goenka Public School, Rohini, Sector 9 wishes all a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.
