गणेश चतुर्थीGanesh Chaturthi

Also called Ganesh Utsav · Vinayaka Chaturthi · Ganeshotsav

The days the mūrti is brought home and installed, worshipped morning and evening, and carried to the water at the end.

When it falls

The fourth tithi of the bright fortnight of Bhādrapada, kept for a day, for five, or through to Anant Chaturdaśī on the fourteenth. A Saṅkaṣṭī Chaturthī falls in the dark fortnight of every month.

The tithi, not a date — the calendar date is a pañchāṅga reckoning and differs by region. Check your local pañchāṅga for this year.

The Reading

The Atharvaśīrṣa at the installation and at each āratī; Sukhkartā Dukhhartā sung at the evening lamp across Maharashtra; the Saṅkaṭanāśana on the Saṅkaṣṭī days.
