Hello everyone 🖐️, I hope everyone is doing great. I'm Sahil back with another day of IAmAliveChallenge. This is my 10th entry and yesterday (22nd August) was an occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi festival. So without any further delay, let's get started with a short explanation about this festival...
Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi is an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated by Indians, and the name also knows as Vinayaka Chaturthi. This festival is a 10-day celebration which is marked by an installation of Lord Ganesha's clay idol in homes, temples and temporary made stage (pandals). Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all my friends and their families.

So let's start my yesterday's activities.
MORNING TIME
It's another day of full of joy when sunshine and birds chirp. Today I woke up at around 6:10 am. I got up from my bed, brushing my teeth and freshen up as usual. Then I checked my mobile and quickly checked WhatsApp and Instagram. Them my mom gave me tea while drinking I read some news on my mobile. Today he dedicated an article on Ganesh Chaturthi and explained the history of why we celebrate this festival. After reading some articles, I helped my mother to clean the house. It took some time to clean the area to worship. Then I went for a walk and completed my 2000 steps.
I had alloo bread and tea in my breakfast at around 10:15 am. Then I check my hive account's notifications and comments, and then I checked if there is any new post in my college group.

AFTERNOON TIME
In the afternoon, I was craving, so I ordered two Burger and Manchurian and, my brother and I finished it. Then I went to buy Items of worship. After coming back home, I played Clash Royale game to pass my time. Then I wrote my assignment for half an hour; it's about to finish now. However, the submission date extended, and there is no announcement regarding examination due to pandemic, everything getting delayed.

EVENING TIME
In the evening, around 5 pm, I received a call from my friend @rishabh99946, so I went to the terrace and took a walk while talking. He told me about project hope and to give some time to the PH community. After that, I opened PeakD and commented on other's posts and checked some posts within Project Hope. Then I attended my online class.

NIGHT TIME
At around 8 pm, we worshipped to the Lord Ganesha and honouring by aarti. Aarti is one of the essential steps of Ganesh Chaturthi. It is believed that Lord Ganesha was a fan of ladoos and modak, so ladoos are offered to Lord Ganesha as bhog.

Wow those Ladoos look good. Did you make them yourself?
What are they made of? Are they sweet or savoury?
It looks like you had a good day.
So what is the history of why you celebrate this festival?
No, my mom made those laddoos.
They are made of "Boondi", it's an Indian sweet. You can search it by "Boondi Laddoo"
It is a ten-day festival that marks the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha. He is considered as the God of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.
Thank for th info about Lord Ganesha! Do you know Amma? from Kerala?
