We celebrate Gowri Puja today. It is essentially a worship by the married ladies, seeking the Mother’s grace and benedictions for progeny and also for longevity of the husband, usually called mangalya.
Tomorrow we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in which we Hindus celebrate the birthday of Lord Ganesha. Ganesh, the elephant-headed son of Shiva and Parvati, is widely worshipped as the supreme god of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most popular of Hindu festivals. It is the day most sacred to Lord Ganesha. It falls on the 4th day of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada (August-September). It is observed throughout India, as well as by devoted Hindus in all parts of the world.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
I heard that Ganesh chaturti is not Ganesh Birthday. It is an auspecious day for Ganesh.
