Ganesh Chaturthi 2027 falls on Saturday, 04 September 2027. The governing tithi — Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi, the arrival of Ganapati — runs from 03-09-2027 14:20 IST to 04-09-2027 12:26 IST, computed from the ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the way a Panchang actually derives it. The observance follows madhyahna (midday).
How the date is fixed
Set by the panchang, so the Gregorian date moves each year:
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Tithi | Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi |
| Sthapana | Traditionally at madhyahna, the midday period |
| Visarjan | Commonly on Anant Chaturdashi, ten days later |
| Why the date moves | A tithi is a precise instant; the local date depends on your time zone |
| Abroad | Use your own city's panchang |
How the day is kept
The murti is established and worshipped during madhyahna — the midday span counted as the birth-time of Ganesha — and the utsava runs its traditional days through visarjana.
Why the tithi window matters more than the date
A Hindu festival is not a civil date; it is a tithi caught at a particular quality of time — madhyahna (midday) here. When the tithi straddles two days, the rule decides the day, which is why two neighbouring calendars sometimes disagree while both cite the same sky. The window printed above is the actual astronomy; the rule applied to it is the tradition. Together they give you the answer the forwards never explain. For the method itself, see our muhurat & festivals guide.

Should I fix an important beginning on Ganesh Chaturthi 2027?
