At the EArtH Foundation’s adopted schools, Vinayaka Chavthi, also known as Ganesh Chaturthi, is celebrated in honor of Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. The festival lasts about 10 to 11 days and is celebrated with great excitement in India, especially in Telangana and Maharashtra.

Before the festival, students participated by making Ganesh idols from clay, giving them a hands-on experience of the tradition. After making the idols, they perform a special puja, offering prayers to Lord Ganesha. On the last day, the Ganesh idol is immersed in water to complete the celebration.
