FESTIVALS

The two festivals celebrated here during Bhadrapada & Magha (Shudha Pratipada to Panchami). It is the experience of many devotees that Ballaleshwar fulfills all their desires & demands. Hence worshippers throng this kshetra either to express their desires & to thank him after their desires are fulfilled.

“Whoever comes here on Bhadrapada Shudha Chaturthi & has my daatshan, all his desires will be fulfilled.” is the boon given by Ganesha to Ballal. On the night of Bhadraapada Chaturthi there is Mahanaivedyam & on Panchami there is Annasantarpan.

Devotees make 21 pradakshinas (holy rounds) of Ganapati to get their desires fulfilled & problems solved.

Their is aa firm belif among the devotees that at midnight of Magha Shudha Chaturthi Shree Gajanan actually comes as Naivedyam. Hence there is heavy rush then.
