In
earlier posts about Ganesha Chaturthi, I posted an explanation of this Festival
and legends on Lord Ganesha. Please view this link here and here.
The
next several postings are all connected with certain aspects of the
Tiruvannamalai preparation and festivities in celebration of this most popular
Festival.
Once
a statue is selected, the purchaser generally covers the statue's face while
transporting it to its specially created local pandal.
The
face of the statue remains covered until Ganesha Chaturthi Puja.
This year several centres in Tiruvannamalai were created to display large statues of Lord Ganesha available for purchase.
