Ganesh Chaturthi 2027: Ganeshotsav Dates, Gauri Pujan and Anant Chaturdashi

Ganesh Chaturthi 2027 is on Saturday, 4 September, Bhadrapad Shuddha Chaturthi. It is a public holiday in Maharashtra. The festival runs for ten days and ends with the visarjan processions on Anant Chaturdashi, Tuesday, 14 September.

Ganeshotsav 2027 calendar

Hartalika, the fast women keep for Parvati, comes the day before Chaturthi. The calendar also lists Rishi Panchami on 4 September along with the punyatithi of Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon.

How long Ganpati stay at home

Families keep Ganpati for one and a half, five, seven or ten days, according to their own custom. Many homes that also bring Gauri send both off together. In 2027 that day is Thursday, 9 September, which is why the calendar marks household visarjan on that date. Sarvajanik mandals in Mumbai and Pune keep their idols until Anant Chaturdashi on the 14th.

Gauri, or Mahalakshmi as she is called in Vidarbha and Marathwada, arrives on Anuradha nakshatra, is worshipped on Jyeshtha and leaves on Mula. The meal on Gauri pujan day usually has sixteen vegetables and a spread of sweets.
