Ganeshotsav is a Hindu festival commemorating the birth of the Hindu god Ganesha. The festival is marked with the installation of Ganesha’s clay idols privately in homes and publicly on elaborate pandals.
Observances include chanting of Vedic hymns and Hindu texts, such as prayers and vrata Offerings and prasada from the daily prayers, that are distributed from the pandal to the community, include sweets such as modaka as it is believed to be a favourite of Ganesha.
The festival ends on the tenth day after the start, when the idol is carried in a public procession with music and group chanting, then immersed in a nearby body of water such as a river or sea, called visarjan on the day of Ananta Chaturdashi.
Wishing everyone Happy Ganesh Chaturthi for 2023
In Mumbai alone, around 150,000 statues are immersed annually. Thereafter the clay idol dissolves, and Ganesha is believed to return to his celestial abode.
Although it is unknown when Ganesh Chaturthi was first observed, the festival has been publicly celebrated in Pune since the era of King Shivaji. The Peshwa in the 18th century were devotees of Ganesha and started as a public Ganesh festival in their capital city of Pune during the month of Bhadrapad.
After the start of the British Raj, the Ganesh festival lost state patronage and became a private family celebration in Maharashtra until its revival by Indian freedom fighter and social reformer Lokmanya Tilak.
Indian freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak, better known as Lokmanya Tilak championed it as a means to circumvent the colonial British government ban on Hindu gatherings through its anti-public assembly legislation in 1892.
The festival celebrates Ganesha as the God of New Beginnings and the Remover of Obstacles as well as the god of wisdom and intelligence and is observed throughout India, especially in the states such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Goa.
Ganesh Chaturthi is also observed in Nepal and by the Hindu diaspora elsewhere such as in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, other parts of the Caribbean, Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa, the United States, and Europe.
In the Gregorian calendar, Ganesh Chaturthi falls between 22 August and 20 September every year.
Although it was unknown when or where Ganesh Chaturthi was first observed, the public celebration was initiated by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Pune in the year 1893. At public venues, along with the reading of texts and group feasting, athletic and martial arts competitions are also held.

Raksha Bandhan is a popular and traditionally Hindu annual rite or ceremony that is central to a festival of the same name celebrated in South Asia. It is also celebrated in other parts of the world significantly influenced by Hindu culture. On this day, sisters of all ages tie a talisman or amulet called the rakhi around the wrists of their brothers. They symbolically protect them, receive a gift in return, and traditionally invest the brothers with a share of the responsibility of their potential care.
Raksha Bandhan is observed on the last day of the Hindu lunar calendar month of Shraavana, which typically falls in August. The expression “Raksha Bandhan” (Sanskrit, literally “the bond of protection, obligation, or care”) is now principally applied to this ritual. Until the mid-20th century, the expression was more commonly applied to a similar ritual, held on the same day, with precedence in ancient Hindu texts. In that ritual, a domestic priest ties amulets, charms, or threads on the wrists of his patrons, or changes their sacred thread, and receives gifts of money. This is still the case in some places.By contrast, the sister-brother festival, with origins in folk culture, had names which varied with location. Some were rendered as saluno,silono,and rakri.[A ritual associated with saluno included the sisters placing shoots of barley behind the ears of their brothers.

The auspicious festival of Navroz, also known as Nowruz, holds much significance for the Parsi community across the globe. Navroz literally translates to ‘new day’. Emerging from one of the world’s oldest religions – Zoroastrianism, the first day of the Zoroastrian calendar, Farvardin, is observed on March 21 around the time of the vernal equinox as the triumph of spring over darkness. While Parsi New Year falls in March globally, India celebrates it nearly 200 days after the world because the Indian Parsi community follows the Shahenshahi calendar. This year, Parsi New Year falls on August 16 (Wednesday) in India.
Navroz Mubarak to everyone
Navroz or Nowruz marks the beginning of the Iranian or Persian New Year.
It celebrated globally by different ethnicities for over 3,000 years.
To celebrate the day, we have curated some wishes and images you can send to your friends and family.

Rath Yatra is derived from two Sanskrit words, Rath, which means chariot or carriage, and Yatra which means journey or pilgrimage. In other Indian languages such as Odia, the phonetic equivalents are used, such as jatra.
The Rath Yatra of Puri, also rendered as the Rath Jatra is considered the oldest and largest Hindu chariot festival celebrated annually, on the bright half of the lunar month of Ashadh. The festival is held at the city of Puri in the state of Odisha, India and associated with the deity Jagannath.
In the Rath Yatra, the three deities are taken from the Jagannath Temple in the chariots to the Gundicha Temple, where they stay for nine days. Thereafter, the deities again ride the chariots back to Shri Mandir in bahuda jatra. On the way back, the three chariots halt at the Mausi Maa Temple and the deities are offered Poda Pitha, a kind of baked cake which are generally consumed by the people of Odisha.
During the Jagannath Rath Yatra, the triads are usually worshiped in the sanctum of the temple at Puri, but once during the month of Asadha (Rainy Season of Odisha, usually falling in month of June or July), they are brought out onto the Bada Danda (main street of Puri) and travel (3 km) to the Shri Gundicha Temple, in huge chariots allowing the public to have darśana . This festival is known as Rath Yatra, meaning the journey (yatra) of the chariots.

Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akti or Akha Teej, is an annual Jain and Hindu spring festival. It falls on the third Tithi (lunar day) of the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Vaisakha. As an auspicious day, it signifies the “third day of unending prosperity”
The festival of Akshaya Tritiya is celebrated as it brings good luck and success. The word Akshaya means “never diminishing or unending”. Hence anything, especially Gold, bought on this day, brings prosperity and more wealth in the coming future. It will never diminish and continue to grow or appreciate.
Akshaya Tritiya is believed in Hinduism to be the birthday of Lord Parasurama who is the sixth incarnation of Vishnu, and he is revered in Vaishnava temples. Hence, this festival is also called “Parasurama Jayanti“
On the day of Akshaya Tritiya, devotees worship Lord Vishnu who is the preserver God in the Hindu Trinity. According to Mythology, Treta Yuga began on Akshaya Tritiya day. Vedic astrologers also consider Akshaya Tritiya an auspicious day free from all malefic effects.
The Akshaya Tritiya day is considered highly auspicious for new ventures, marriages, expensive investments such as in gold or real estate property or any new beginnings.
On this day, women (married or unmarried) pray for the well-being of the men in their lives or the one they may in future get engaged to. After prayers, they distribute germinating grams (sprouts), fresh fruits and sweets.
If the Akshaya Tritiya falls on a Monday (Rohini), the festival is believed to be even more auspicious. Fasting, charity and helping others on this day is another festive practice.
On this auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, Team Blossom Inc wishes all their customers, partners, system integrators and resellers, “Happy Akshaya Tritiya”
