Vinayaka Chaturthi is celebrated in the months of August or September in the reverence of Lord Ganesha, who was the lord over wisdom and prosperity with an elephant head. It involves the preparation of clay images of Ganesha that are put inside many homes and public places. The idol is worshipped with prayers, sweets, and flowers. Huge processions and immersion of the idol in water mark the culmination of the festivals of Tamil Nadu. Vinayaka Chaturthi is a colourful and festive occasion.
There are beautiful decorations and cultural programs.
