Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 Date and Muhurat
Ganesh Chaturthi, a festival deeply rooted in Indian culture, especially in Maharashtra, is eagerly awaited every year. The 10-day celebration of Lord Ganesha, which begins on the Chaturthi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, will be observed in 2024 with great devotion and fervor.
On Ganesh Chaturthi, people bring Ganpati Bappa home, perform rituals and prayers with full faith, and after ten days, immerse the idol on Anant Chaturdashi. While the immersion of Lord Ganesha follows different customs, many devotees keep the idol for the full ten days, particularly in Maharashtra, where the festival is celebrated in full swing.
Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 Date
According to the Hindu calendar, in 2024, the Chaturthi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Bhadrapada month begins on September 6th at 3:01 PM and ends on September 7th at 5:37 PM. Based on the Udaya Tithi (the Tithi at sunrise), Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on Saturday, September 7th. On this day, devotees will install the idol of Lord Ganesha in their homes and observe a fast.
Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 Muhurat
On September 7th, the auspicious time for Ganesh Chaturthi puja is 2 hours and 31 minutes. You can begin the puja at 11:03 AM and conclude it by 1:34 PM. Observing the rituals during this Muhurat is considered highly beneficial for receiving Lord Ganesha’s blessings.
Four Auspicious Yogas on Ganesh Chaturthi
This year, Ganesh Chaturthi falls under the influence of four auspicious Yogas. The day starts with Brahma Yoga, which lasts until 11:17 PM, followed by Indra Yoga. Additionally, Ravi Yoga will be in effect from 6:02 AM to 12:34 PM, while Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga will last until 12:34 PM, extending into the next day, September 8th, until 6:03 AM.
Bhadrā During Ganesh Chaturthi 2024
It’s important to note that Bhadrā will also be present on Ganesh Chaturthi, beginning at 6:02 AM and ending at 5:37 PM. However, this Bhadrā will reside in the Pātāla region, so it won’t adversely affect the festival’s celebrations.
End of Ganesh Chaturthi 2024
The 10-day festival will conclude on Tuesday, September 17th, with the immersion of Lord Ganesha on Anant Chaturdashi. Devotees who keep the idol for the entire 10 days will bid farewell to Ganpati Bappa on this day, asking him to return next year.
Significance of Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birth of Lord Ganesha. On this day, devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Ganesha with the hope that their wishes will be fulfilled, their obstacles removed, and their lives filled with positivity and success.
This year’s Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 Date is special, with many auspicious yogas aligning on the same day, promising an eventful and blessed celebration for all devotees.
