Happy Ganesh Chathurthi

@History

Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated when Rashtrakuta, Satavahana, and Chalukya ruled between 271 BC and 1190 AD. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, ruler and founder of the Maratha Empire, celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with great passion in order to bring people together against the Mughals.

Ganesh Chaturthi public celebrations were initiated by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in Maharashtra in 1893 against a diktat by the then British government on public gathering by Hindus.
