Ganesh Chaturthi
Welcoming Ganesha through prayer, household worship and shared celebration.
Welcoming a beginning
Ganesha is invoked at the beginning of many devotional and cultural activities. During Ganesh Chaturthi, families and communities may install an image, offer simple worship and share food. The duration and form of the celebration vary by household and region.
Simple, thoughtful worship
Use the prayer tradition you know and follow local arrangements for immersion. Materials and disposal can be planned with care for shared water and public spaces. A ritual calendar must distinguish this annual festival from recurring Sankashti observances.
Date and puja timings are awaiting approved festival rules. This guide does not provide an occurrence date. Editorial review pending.
