மஹா விநாயகர் சதுர்த்தி கொண்டாட்டம்
महा विनायक चतुर्थी समारोह
మహా వినాయక చతుర్థి వేడుక
മഹാ വിനായക ചതുർത്ഥി ആഘോഷം
Although devotees maintain a Vinayaka Chaturthi fast every month, the most significant Maha Vinayaka Chaturthi falls in the month of August/September. The Chaturthi Tithi during August/September is known as Maha Ganesha Chaturthi and is celebrated by Hindus all over the world as the birthday of Lord Ganesha. This year, the date for the celebrations is Wednesday, 13 September.
This Vinayakar Chaturthi is also known as Varad Vinayaka Chaturthi, varad meaning, “asking Lord Ganesha to fulfil any desire one has”. It is believed that Ganesha blesses devotees who observe this fast with wisdom and patience.
The special ceremonies at Kundrathu Kumaran Temple will begin at 8am at the main temple and will be conducted by Chief Priest Sivaargamaratnam ShivaSri Ratnaprabakara Kurrukal, Shiva Agama Pooshanam Janakiraman Kurrukal and other distinguished priests.
