Ganesh Visarjan Set for September 25 as Festival Season Concludes

Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations across India will culminate on September 25, 2026, with the immersion of Ganesh idols on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi. The festival commenced on September 14 with the installation of idols of the beloved deity in homes and public spaces throughout the country.

The immersion date marks the completion of an 11-day spiritual observance honoring Lord Ganesh, the first deity in Hindu mythology. Anant Chaturdashi, the fourteenth day of the lunar fortnight, holds particular significance as the designated day for Ganesh Visarjan across most regions of India.

During this important festival period, many devotees overlook key customs and practices associated with the immersion ritual. Understanding and adhering to these traditional guidelines is considered essential for completing the festival with proper reverence. The immersion ceremony involves carrying idols in processions, often accompanied by music and dancing, before placing them in water bodies.

Devotees planning to participate in Ganesh Visarjan are urged to familiarize themselves with the specific rituals and protocols observed in their respective regions. Local traditions may vary, and consulting community elders or temple authorities can provide clarity on proper practices to follow during the immersion process.
