Every year, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Lord Ganesha. This day is dedicated to Lord Ganesh, who is the god of wisdom, prosperity, the God of new beginnings, and good fortune. It is believed that Lord Ganesh was born in the month of Bhadrapada during Shukla Paksha.
Since Lord Ganesh is also known as Vighnaharta (the one who removes obstacles), he is worshipped before commencing any new endeavor or auspicious event, such as a marriage or Griha Pravesh.
Ganesh Chaturthi falls annually on the Chaturthi tithi of Shukla Paksha. It lasts for 10 days, and the last day is observed as Ganesh Visarjan. This year, Ganesh Chaturthi falls on Saturday, September 7, and Ganesh Visarjan is on Tuesday, September 17. Meanwhile, the Ganesh Chaturthi puja muhurat is from 11:03 am to 1:34 pm.
