This was a great initiative started, as a trend in Canada and the festival was first time recognized by the Parliament house of Canada.
About Ganesha Festival: Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, which is one of the very important Hindu Festival, celebrated throughout India with great devotion. This day is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh, the elephant-headed son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Lord Ganesh is the symbol of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.
