The birthday of Lord Ganesha, and the start of Ganeshotsav. The idol is brought home or to the pandal and installed at Madhyahna, the middle of the day, when Ganesha is said to have been born. Families offer modak, durva grass and red flowers, and do aarti morning and evening. The idol stays for one and a half, three, five, seven or ten days before visarjan; the last day is Anant Chaturdashi. Tradition says not to look at the moon tonight.
