Myth: Not to see moon during Ganesh Chaturthi.
Superstitious belief: The one who does so, will be called a thief.
Actual reasoning: It was Ganesh's birthday and he had been invited for dinner by a devotee. Ganesh had a heavy meal and was returning home on his mouse. Suddenly a snake came on their way. The mouse got frightened and ran away which lead to falling of Ganesh on the ground. Seeing this, the moon started laughing at Ganesh. He felt humiliated and in his frustration he cursed the moon saying that ''anybody who sees the moon on his birthday will be called as thief". This is the reason why we are not supposed to look at the moon. But this Myth is still believed by Hindus during Ganesh Chaturthi.
