Ganesh Chaturthi, one of Hinduism`s most widely celebrated festivals, commemorates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of wisdom, prosperity, and fresh beginnings. Ganesh Chaturthi 2024 will be celebrated on September 7. The event, also known as Vinayak Chaturdashi, is distinguished by complex rituals, lively celebrations, and profound spiritual importance.

Ganesh Chaturthi falls on the fourth day (Chaturthi) of the bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha) in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada. In 2024, the festival will begin on September 7 and last for ten days, culminating in Anant Chaturdashi on September 16th, when the statue of Lord Ganesha is submerged in water, signalling the end of the festivities.
