Happy Vinayagar Chaturthi

Happy Vinayagar Chaturthi/விநாயகர் சதுர்த்தி. A few millennium years old tradition, fostered a sense of unity and belonging among the villagers.

Nowadays everyone has a calendar, clocks, and smart phones. Move the camera back into few millennium years where villagers may not have these, but they had beautiful Sky as the clock, perhaps a good TV show at night. On 4th day (Chatur/Four/சதுர்/चतुर्) of waxing moon monks, Chittars (சித்தர்), Buddhist monks (புத்தர், பௌத்தர்), Vinayagars (விநாயகர்,விண் நாயகர்) were visiting villages, a practice in Hindu culture, particularly in South India. Perhaps these monks, often itinerant and ascetic, are believed to be carriers of blessings, medical knowledge, and spiritual energy. The villagers welcome the monks with traditional rituals, such as offering flowers, fruits, and sweets. Villagers will tell their issues and monks provided solutions, obstacle removers.
