Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated every year on the fourth day (Chaturthi Tithi) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada and continues until Anant Chaturdashi.
This year, the 10-day Ganesh festival falls on 27 August 2025 and will conclude with the immersion of Lord Ganesh idols on 6 September 2025.
Lord Ganesh, revered as the deity of wisdom, intellect, prosperity, and remover of obstacles, is believed to bless devotees with happiness and relief from difficulties when worshipped with devotion and proper rituals.
