Before you make plans

When should I check the local puja timing?

Before fixing the installation or puja, check the Chaturthi tithi for your city. Ganesh Chaturthi is associated with Madhyahna, around solar noon. The time used to select the festival date is not, by itself, a complete puja muhurat.

Is Ganesh Visarjan on the same day?

Not necessarily. Families and mandals keep Ganpati for different lengths of time. Anant Chaturdashi is the principal final Visarjan observance; the Ganesh festival calendar brings the opening date and that closing date together.

Why this date?

Falls on Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi (4th day of bright fortnight in Bhadrapada). Chaturthi is Ganesha's sacred tithi, and this one in Bhadrapada marks his birth, typically in August-September.

For 2031, Samvat resolves the observance to Friday, 22 August 2031, with Shukla Chaturthi, Adhika Bhadrapada. The public festival calendar uses an India-baseline Panchang; personal observance can vary by location and family tradition.
