Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat
Hindu festivals are tied to a specific Tithi, not a fixed date — so the day shifts every year and even varies slightly across cities.
Open the Panchanga for the festival day to see the exact Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Shubh Muhurat for pooja in your location.
The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

Inside the app you can:
- Generate your personal Vedic kundali
- Talk to a Jyotisha for guidance around career, relationships or health
- Run kundali matching before fixing a marriage during the festival season
All of this is available inside the Dharmayana app — no fixed schedule, use it whenever you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Ganesha Chaturthi in 2027?
Ganesha Chaturthi 2027 falls on Saturday, 4 September 2027. Chaturthi tithi runs from 02:19 PM, 3 Sep to 12:26 PM, 4 Sep IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Ganesha Chaturthi?
Less a birthday than a ten-day houseguest visit: a clay Ganesha is installed at home, fed modaks, and walked to a river on Anant Chaturdashi for immersion. Maratha king Shivaji used it to rally his subjects against the Mughals; Lokmanya Tilak revived it as a public festival in 1893 to sidestep British bans on assembly.
Why is Ganesha Chaturthi observed?
The puja is timed to Madhyahna — midday — because Ganesha is believed to have been born then. The full rite is Shodashopachara, sixteen prescribed steps of welcome and offering, and 21 kinds of leaves (patras) are placed at his feet. One firm rule: do not look at the moon tonight. The Vrat Katha says Krishna himself was falsely accused of stealing the Syamantaka jewel after glimpsing the Bhadrapada Chaturthi moon — sighting it brings Mithya Dosha, a slur of false theft. Households choose how long Ganesha stays: immersion is on an odd-numbered day — 1½, 3, 5, 7 or 11 days in. At farewell, Maharashtrians place a spoonful of curd in his palm — a guest given curd-rice is sure to return.
What are the other names for Ganesha Chaturthi?
Ganesha Chaturthi is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, Siddhi Vinayaka Chaturthi, Ganesh Chauth and Vinayaka Chavithi.
