The Legend

Traditional Ganesha Hindu stories tell that Lord Ganesha,son of goddess Parvati consort of Shiva.Parvati created Ganesha out of sandalwood paste that she used for her bath and breathed life into the figure.  

Devon Ka Raja (King of Devon) is dedicated to celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi which is a Hindu festival honoring the Lord Ganesha.  This is a very auspicious holiday in which we pray to the God so that all new activities or ventures are fulfilled with success and without hardship.

Devon Ka Raja is an event organized to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi on Devon Avenue.  Ganesh Chaturthi is the Hindu festival celebrated on the birthday (rebirth) of Lord Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati.  It is believed that Lord Ganesh bestows his presence on earth for all his devotees during his festival.  It is the day when Ganesha was born.  Ganesha is widely worshiped as the god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune. Traditionally his prayer will be held at the beginning of any new venture of at the start of travel.  People also follow the rituals in bringing home the Ganesha Idol. 

Date

The festival is observed in the Hindu Calender month of Bhaadrapada, starting on the Shukla Chaturthi(fourth day of the waxing moon). This year it will be from September 5th to Sept 15th 2016.
