Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birth of Lord Ganesha and is
celebrated all over the country. In Sawai Madhopur, the festival is rather
special. The temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha is located in the fort of
Ranthambore, about 12 kms from Sawai Madhopur and it is one of the most
important Ganesha temples in the State.
There is always a lot of activity at the temple because people believe that
the first invitation to a marriage should be sent to Lord Ganesha. As a
result, hundreds of invitations pour in everyday from all over the country
inviting Lord Ganesha to attend the marriage. Some people also enclose money
to enable Lord Ganesha to pay for his fare!
This temple is the site for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations attracting
devotees from all over to join in the singing of devotional songs. Markets
spring up in the area, allowing the people to do their shopping as well.
