Ganesh Chaturthi 2026: Date, Sthapana Muhurat and the 10-Day Festival
Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 begins on Monday, 14 September 2026 and runs for ten joyous days, ending with Ganesh Visarjan around Anant Chaturdashi (25 September). It honours Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles and lord of beginnings.
Sthapana and puja
Families install a clay murti of Ganpati with pranapratishtha during the auspicious midday muhurat, then offer modak, durva grass and daily aarti. The mood is warm, musical and full of devotion.
Why Ganesha first
Ganesha is invoked before any new venture, which makes this festival especially dear to those beginning something: a home, a business, a journey.
Before any beginning, we remember the one who clears the way.
To begin a venture on an auspicious note, book a consultation online from Gurugram, Hyderabad and across India.
For guidance grounded in authentic Vedic astrology, consult Dr. R.P. Sharma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 falls on Monday, 14 September 2026.
What is Ganesh Chaturthi?
It celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and begins a ten-day festival.
How is it celebrated?
Clay idols of Ganesha are installed and worshipped, then immersed in water on Anant Chaturdashi.
Ganesh Chaturthi sthapana and timing
Ganesh Chaturthi begins with the sthapana of Lord Ganesha, traditionally performed during a suitable muhurat after checking tithi and local panchang. The ritual honours Ganesha as the remover of obstacles and the deity invoked before new beginnings, learning, business, writing and household undertakings.
The correct timing depends on the local observance place. For families outside India, the Indian calendar date should not be copied blindly; the local tithi and time zone should be checked. This helps the family perform the sthapana with clarity.
Spiritual discipline during the festival
The ten-day period is not only about celebration. It is also a period of discipline, cleanliness, mantra, offerings, restraint and gratitude. The visarjan marks respectful completion, reminding the devotee that devotion should continue beyond the festival.
For timing support, read Panchang basics, mantra and meditation, or book an online consultation.
