The Rigveda contains references to Ganapati dating back hundreds of years, attesting to India’s ties to the festival. According to historian Shri Rajwade, the earliest Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations extend back to the Satavahana, Rashtrakuta, and Chalukya dynasties.
The great Maratha ruler Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaja initiated Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Maharashtra to promote culture and nationalism, according to historical accounts. Since that time, it has persisted. During the Peshwa era in Pune, there were also similar celebrations, according to history. Lord Ganapati is believed to have been the family deity of the Peshwas. Ganesh Chaturthi remained a household celebration in Maharashtra after the Peshwa dynasty ceased to exist between 1818 and 1892.
