Vinayaka Chaturthi falls on the 4th day of Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) every month. It is dedicated to Lord Ganesha - the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings. The Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi (August–September) is the grand 10-day festival celebrated as Ganesh Chaturthi.
The main 10-day festival in 2024 begins on 07 Sep 2024. Anant Chaturdashi (immersion) is 10 days later.
Vinayaka Chaturthi is the monthly auspicious day dedicated to Lord Ganesha, observed on the Chaturthi (fourth day) of the Shukla Paksha (waxing fortnight) of each Hindu lunar month. It is distinct from the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival (Vinayaka Chaturthi in the month of Bhadrapada) which spans 10-11 days and is celebrated with great grandeur across Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. The monthly Chaturthi is a quieter personal observance - devotees visit Ganesha temples, offer modaks, and seek his blessing for removing obstacles before beginning new ventures.
The Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi, popularly known as Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayaka Chathurthi, is one of India's largest public celebrations. The festival was popularised as a public event by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in 1893 in Pune to unite Indians during the freedom movement. Today, Mumbai's Lalbaugcha Raja and Pune's Kasba Ganpati are among the most visited pandals in the world. In 2025, Ganesh Chaturthi falls on August 27.
