Ganesh Chaturthi Shubhecha

Ganesh Chaturthi is an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated every year in the Bhadra month as per the Hindu calendar which generally falls in mid-August to September. It marks the birthday of the beloved elephant-headed Lord Ganesha.

Ganesha is known as the God of wealth, sciences, knowledge, wisdom, prosperity, remover of obstacles and that’s why most Hindus remember him and seek his blessings before starting any important work. Lord Ganesh is known by 108 different names like Gajanana, Vinayaka, Vighnaharta among others.

Here at BoscoBoys Home, we promote love, respect, and tolerance of all faiths and cultures. On this auspicious occasion under the able guidance of our staff, Mr. Datta Gade, Mr. Hanumantha, Mrs. Sonali, and Pooja, a prayer service was organized followed by a short skit presentation on one of the legends of Lord Ganesha. Thereafter the traditional ‘Modak’ sweet was distributed to the children.

Later in the day, the boys got into their teams to prepare colourful Rangolis around the house in keeping with the festive tradition.
