Ganesh chaturthi is celebrated on the fourth day after new moon in the month of aavani (a tamil month - mid August to mid September). It is falling on 29th of August this time. It is celebrated throughout India and is a very important Hindu festival. Lord Ganesh statues made of clay are bought to house, decorated and worshiped for days and are floated in water bodies after a few days, usually 5th day or 7th day.
In Tamil nadu, people even make pallu (meaning teeth) kozhukattai when a baby's teeth has just started to grow. They are stuffed with minute coconut bits. The belief is that the teeth would grow as beautiful as these dumplings/ kozhukattai. Would soon post these recipes.
