Ganesh Immersion Falls on September 25, Hindu Calendar Confirms

According to the Hindu lunar calendar, the Chaturdashi phase of the Bhadrapad month's waxing fortnight begins on the night of September 24 at approximately 11:18 p.m. and concludes on the evening of September 25 around 11:06 p.m. This timing determines when the principal Ganesh immersion, known as Ganesh Visarjan, should be performed. The main immersion ceremony will be conducted on Friday, September 25, the tenth and final day of the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival, one of the most significant celebrations in the Hindu calendar. Ganesh Visarjan marks the symbolic farewell to Lord Ganesh after his worship period and is observed with considerable reverence across India, particularly in Maharashtra and other regions with substantial Hindu populations. Devotees traditionally immerse clay idols of Ganesh in water bodies, an ancient practice meant to symbolize the return of the deity to the cosmic cycle while carrying away the prayers and wishes of the faithful.
