Ganesha Chaturthi falls on the fourth day during the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapad. This year it will be observed on September 13, 2018. It is a ten-day festival observed in dedication to the remover of obstacles, Lord Ganesha.

A number of stories in Hinduism highlight the way Ganesha blesses his devotees. For instance, it was an example of his true dedication to his parents when he said that a round taken around his parents is equal to a round around the entire world.
