In Sanatan Dharma, every auspicious beginning starts with the invocation of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. It is believed that without Ganpati Bappa’s blessings, no task can be completed successfully. This makes Ganesh Chaturthi a festival of profound religious and spiritual importance.
Let us explore when Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated in 2025, the auspicious time (shubh muhurat) for worship, and its deeper significance.
When Is Ganesh Chaturthi In 2025?
According to Pandit Kalki Ram, a noted astrologer from Ayodhya, UP, the Chaturthi Tithi of the Bhadrapada month begins at 1:54 pm on August 26, 2025 and ends at 3:44 pm on August 27, 2025.
As per the Udaya Tithi (sunrise-based calculation), Ganesh Chaturthi will be observed on 27 August 2025 (Wednesday).
Auspicious Time For Ganesh Puja
The most auspicious time to perform Ganesh Chaturthi Puja will be from 11:05 am to 1:29 pm on August 27. During this window, devotees can perform ritualistic worship (puja) and offer prayers to Lord Ganesha.
Why Ganesh Chaturthi Is Celebrated?
Although Lord Ganesha is worshipped throughout the year, particularly on Chaturthi Tithis during the Krishna and Shukla Pakshas, Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi holds a unique place in the Hindu calendar.
It is believed that Lord Ganesha incarnated on this very date, which is why Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with grandeur across India.
Religious Beliefs And Rituals During Ganesh Chaturthi
On Ganesh Chaturthi, devotees install clay idols of Ganpati Bappa in their homes or local pandals. Depending on regional traditions, the deity is worshipped for 5, 7, or 10 days, after which the idol is immersed in water with due reverence.
To seek Lord Ganesha’s blessings:
- Wake up early, preferably during Brahma Muhurat
- Bathe and offer Gangajal abhishek (ritual bathing) to the idol
- Light a ghee lamp and perform aarti with devotion
According to Hindu tradition, sincere worship on this day is said to eliminate obstacles, bring peace, and help fulfil pending wishes and endeavours.
Ganesh Chaturthi is not only a celebration of devotion and joy, but also a time for introspection, fresh starts, and spiritual upliftment. Whether you’re performing a grand puja or offering prayers at home, the blessings of Vighnaharta will surely grace your path.
