What is the best time for Ganesh Chaturthi puja in 2016
What is Parthiva Ganapathi Puja. Why it is performed on Ganesh Chaturthi festival only?
Vinayaka Chavithi is the biggest festival in Andhra Pradesh. When I visited Bangalore last year, the Ganesha idols were set up and offered pujas till Dasara. I don’t what is the reason behind it. Why Ganesh idols kept worshipping till Dasara whereas Ganesha festival ends on Ananta Chaturdasi in all other places of India.
Why Ganesh Festival is known as Ganesh Navratri as it is celebrated for more than 10 days.. It should be called Ganesha Ekadasha ratri / Ganesha Dasharatri..
