The Hindus and the Jains of Jaipur celebrate together Ganesh Chaturthi and Samvatsari festivals


On occasion of Hindu Festival of Ganesh Chaturthi (September 10, 2021), the birthday of Lord Ganesha - the god of wisdom and success - is celebrated, special events are held at Ganesha Temple, Moti Dungr, in Jaipur.


The idol of Lord Ganesha at Moti Dungri temple has been decked up after Sinjara ritual and presentation of henna. Another ritual important on the occasion is putting on new clothes and jewellery by idol and placing it on throne of silver.


The schedule for the day at various Ganesha temple are as follows: Mangla Aarati; worship with recitation of mantras; Shringar Aarati; Bhog Aarati; Sandhya Aarati and Shayan Aarati before mid-night.



The Jains of Jaipur celebrated their Roth Teej yesterday and are celebrating Samvatsari festival today that coincides with Vinayaka Chaturthi. Saṃvatsari is the last day of Paryushana Shwetambar sect of Jainism to forgive and seek forgiveness for their mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly from all the living beings by speaking the phrase such as 'Micchami Dukkadam'; 'Khamau Sa'; or 'Khamat Khamna'.


Vakratunda Ganesh Mantra is commonly recited on this day is, " Vakratunda Maha-Kaaya Surya-Kotti Samaprabha. Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvadaa." The mantra in English means somewhat like this: Oh Lord with curved trunk, large body whose aura is like light of crores of sun, Please make my entire work obstacle free, forever."
