Dates are calculated astronomically from sunrise and sunset in New Delhi. In other cities the tithi timing can occasionally move the festival to another day; confirm with your local panchang or Pandit Ji for the final decision.

Vinayaka Chaturthi — what it is

Vinayaka Chaturthi is the monthly day of worship of Lord Ganesha. The one in Bhadrapada is the great festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.

Tithi: Shukla Chaturthi of every month, with the puja done at midday.

Things to keep in mind

The date is based on Chaturthi at sunrise; the puja looks for Chaturthi at midday, so the day can differ occasionally.
