🕉Chanchanty, Ganesh's birthday, 22 Jan 69

Ganesh Jayanti: A festival celebrating the birthday of Ganesh.

The day of Chaturthi, also known as Magha Shukla Chaturthi, is a Hindu religious day believed to be the birthday of Lord Ganesha, which this year falls on January 22, 2026.

Although in Thailand we are more familiar with the "Ganesh Chaturthi" festival during August-September, astrology and the Purana, the day of Chaturthi falls on the fourth day of the evening, the month of Maha (according to the Hindu lunar calendar) is the true birth date according to Indian beliefs in Maharashtra and northern areas.

Ganesha, "the god of success, wisdom, and the removal of obstacles," according to Hinduism, considers the day of Chishyanty to be a very auspicious day, suitable for starting new things, asking for the blessings of work, study, business, and life as a whole. Those who have faith in Ganesha believe that if they behave correctly and purify their minds, they will open the way for a smooth and progressive life.

It is the perfect time to ward off bad things and start over. It is a unique opportunity to release obstacles and step into a new chapter full of good blessings.

The celebration of His Nativity Day today reminds the faithful that by means of divine guidance, all obstacles can be overcome - personal, professional, or spiritual - and invites new energies and positive changes to life.

In the Hindu calendar, around the middle of January and the middle of February, this time of year has the festival of Chishyanty, which means "Chyanty," which means Chai, or Birthday Celebration.

The History and Myth of the Birth of Ganesha

Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Our Lady Parvati, having an elephant head, conveying wisdom, prudence, and patience. As the human body means strength, he is regarded as the deity who removes obstacles before the commencement of any ritual. Hindus and believers around the world always worship Ganesha before the commencement of important works for wisdom, prosperity, and fortune.

The myth of the birth of Ganesha on the day of the Sabbath has many currents, but most popularly it is stated that on this day, the Lady Parvati formed a picture of a boy from Klai who rubbed his body, turmeric and powder while taking water. She gave her breath, then gave her the name of the Sabha or Vinaya to serve as a watch on the door of the bathroom and told her she wanted no one to disturb her.

An important event happened when Lord Shiva returned and tried to go inside, but this boy acted strictly not to allow anyone to pass through. Indra, Vishnu, Agni, Vayu, tried to enter for punishment, so there was a battle, but Ganesha defeated all. Ganesha was a pure Shakti power, so that it was superior to the deity that was a cosmic force. Shiva did not know Ganesha before, when so it was.

And he was challenged by the king of the great gods. And Shiva used the trident to cut off the boy's head.

When the Virgin Parvati learned of this and saw the body of his son, he was very angry and sad, and he showed his power and threatened to destroy the universe as a means of correcting and comforting his wife, and Shiva commanded the gods to search for men or animals lying on their heads to the west, to behead the child.

It turned out that he had successfully taken a white elephant's head and turned his head west, and Shiva revived Ganesha, so he had his head as an elephant. Shiva also blessed Ganesha as the deity of removing obstacles, and must always be worshipped before other gods, the Lord of Wisdom and the leader of the deities (a story from the Sipurana source that discusses this event directly, in the fullest and most recognized detail in the genitals).
