🚩 #GaneshChaturthi
Do you know why the ritual of getting Bhagawan GaneshJi home started?
Maharishi VedVyasJi wrote Mahabharat in poetry form.
He was unable to write it in prose form.
So he requested Bhagwan GaneshJi to do the task for him 🚩1/4 Image
🚩 The process of writing was going to take days and nights.
This would have tired Bhagwan GaneshJi & he was not to take even water during this writing.
This would have raised temperature of Lord's body.
So Maharishi VyasJi applied paste of mud on GaneshJi’s body🚩2/4 Image
🚩 On Bhadrapad Shukla Chaturthi the writing started & ended on Anant Chaturthi. At the end of the writing on Anant Chaturdashi, Maharishi VyasJi saw that Bhagwan Ganesh's body temperature had risen a lot,
So he immersed the Lord in water to cool him down & wash off the mud🚩3/4 Image
