Description |
- Pancha Ganapati is a modern five-day Hindu festival
celebrated from December 21 through 25 in honour of Lord
Ganesha, Patron of Arts and Guardian of Culture.
- The festival was created in 1985 as a Hindu alternative
to December holidays like Christmas by Sivaya
Subramuniyaswami (born Robert Hansen), a Western convert to
Hinduism who founded the magazine Hinduism Today and the
Saiva Siddhanta Church, headquartered in Hawaii; the
festival is uncommon among traditional South Asian Hindus.
