In India, 5 September is celebrated as Teachers’ Day to mark the contributions made by teachers to the society.The day also coincides with the birthday of a great teacher Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education, and was a well-known diplomat, scholar, President of India and above all a great teacher. In 1962, when he became the President of India, he was approached by his followers to celebrate his birthday on 5 September. Instead, he asked them to celebrate this day as Teachers’ Day. The request showed Dr Radhakrishnan’s love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day is observed as Teachers’ Day in India.

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi marks the birthday of Lord Ganesha. This auspicious festival is observed in the month of Bhadra (mid August-

Telangana and Karnataka. During this festival, beautifully crafted clay idols of Lord Ganesha are laid at homes and public pandals and worshipped for ten days. The

festival ends with the immersion of the idols on the eleventh day in a lake or a river amidst a lot of fanfare.
