Vinayaka Chaviti (Telugu: వినాయక చవితి) is a 1957 Telugu musical film written and directed by Samudrala Raghavacharya. The story is of Syamantakopakhyanam, annually read during Ganesh Chathurthi festival day celebrations of Lord Vinayaka.

The song Dinakara Subhakara Deva Deenadhara Timira Samhara is a memorable number sung by Ghantasala Venkateswara Rao on Hindu God Surya.

Synopsis

The plot is narrated by story teller for the benefit of the devotees. It begins with Goddess Parvathi Devi making a mud sculpture of a child in human form and breathing life into it. She makes this child her guard when she goes for bath. She orders him not to let anyone in. When Lord Shiva tries to enter, this child stops him and invites Shiva's anger. Shiva beheads him. Later, knowing from Parvati that the child is his son, he brings the child back to life but with an elephant head (Shiva had once granted this boon to a Rakshasa who became his devotee). They name him Gajanana (In Sanskrit, Gaja = Elephant, Anana = Face) and make him the lord of the Ganas. During a court function, Chandra (Moon god) laughs at him and gets cursed that no one shall see his face on Vinayaka Chavithi. Should anyone happen to see, he/she shall face ignominy brought on by false rumour.
