    The 4th day of the bright half of Bhadrapada — the birthday of Ganesha, the elephant-headed lord who removes obstacles from the path of anyone who sincerely asks.

    How to Observe It

    Before beginning anything new today, invoke Ganesha: Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha. Name the obstacle you'd like removed and offer it to him.
