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:

QuestionAnswer
TithiBhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi
SthapanaTraditionally at madhyahna, the midday period
VisarjanCommonly on Anant Chaturdashi, ten days later
Why the date movesA tithi is a precise instant; the local date depends on your time zone
AbroadUse 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.

Why is the midday (madhyahna) puja stressed on Ganesh Chaturthi?

Because tradition places Ganapati's birth in the madhyahna; the sthapana and main puja are kept while the Chaturthi tithi covers midday.

Should I fix an important beginning on Ganesh Chaturthi 2027?

A festival is auspicious in itself, but a dated personal beginning — a purchase, a launch, a ceremony — is best matched to your own chart and the day's full Panchang. That is a ten-minute check in a consultation.
