About the Utsav
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the deity of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. For eleven sacred days, devotees welcome Ganesha's presence with pooja, aarti, and heartfelt offerings.
At Radha Krishna Temple of North Carolina, the Utsav unfolds with a grand procession and Sthapan, daily Ganpati poojas, cultural offerings, a hands-on idol making workshop for families, and a joyous Visarjan — culminating eleven days of devotion, culture, and community.
