Ganesh Chaturthi 2021: All you need to know about date, shubhmuhurat and puja visarjan

-

Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated from 10 September this year. The 10-day festival of Ganesh Mahotsav, celebrated mostly in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh, will end on 21 September.

Several people bring in idols of Lord Ganesh to their homes and worship the elephant-headed deity.

ShubhMuhurat:

The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birth of Lord Ganesh, the god of wisdom and prosperity. It is marked on the fourth day of the Bhadrapada month in the Hindu calendar, which falls in August-September.

This year, the Chaturthi tithi will last from 12.17 am to 10 pm on 10 September.

On this day, people get up early to clean the temples installed in their houses. The idol of Lord Ganesh is put on a raised pedestal and worshipped. Aarti and sweets such as laddoos and modaks are offered to the god.

Puja timings:

According to the Hindu calendar, the best timing for puja is from 11.03 am to 01.33 pm on 10 September.

Puja Vidhi for Ganesh Chaturthi:

It is believed that worshipping Lord Ganesha can lead to the removal of obstacles from one’s life, making it peaceful and prosperous. The idol of the god, red cloth, water pot, coconut, cardamom, ‘panchamrit’, ‘roli’, ‘akshat’, and ‘laung’ are needed for the rituals. Other items required for the puja include ‘supari’, ‘Kalavajaneoo’, ‘Chandi ka vark’, ‘ghee’, ‘kapur’, ‘panchmeva’, ‘gangajal’, and ‘chaukee’.

Anant Chaturdashi and Ganesh Visarjan:

Some people do not keep idols in their homes for the entire duration of Ganesh Mahotsav, while others celebrate the entire duration of the festival. The Ganesh Visarjan is performed with lots of singing and dancing, as people transport the idols to local water bodies such as seas, lakes, and rivers.

On the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi, devotees line up in huge processions for immersing the idols. They bid farewell to Lord Ganesh, asking him to return next year.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
