This year, Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on Friday, September 10. The tithi begins at 12:18 am on September 10, and ends at 9:57 pm on the same day.

The immersion signals the return of the Ganesha to his abode after staying with his devotees for 10 days. Ganesha is also known as Vinayak and Vighneshwara.

the festival starts with the placing of idols of ganesha on a raised platform in homes. The houses are decorated elaborately with chanting of hymns from the upanishad. The idol is offered with sandalwood paste and flowers while worshipping.

the specialty of this festival is the 'modaks' which is the sweet dumpling considered as the favourite food of lord ganesha. He is also worshipped at the beginning of every work in sanatana dharma.
