Ganesh Chaturthi 2024: Dates, Muhurta, and 5 Life-Changing Practices

According to the Hindu calendar, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in the month of Bhadra. Beyond marking the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha, this 10-to-12-day festival is a time to awaken and rejuvenate our spiritual instincts. Devotees wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to prayers and the service of the lord, fostering a deep connection with the divine. Typically, this celebration falls in the months of August and September.

In 2024, according to the English calendar, Ganesh Chaturthi begins on September 7th. The festival concludes with the immersion of Lord Ganesha’s idol, an event celebrated on the day of Anant Chaturdashi, which falls on September 17th this year.

The immersion of Lord Ganesha’s idol into water signifies the dissolution of obstacles and ego, reminding us of the impermanence of life and the eternal nature of the divine. Anant Chaturdashi not only marks the festival’s conclusion but also symbolizes the attainment of spiritual perfection.
