Ganesh Chaturthi 2025
The vibrant festival of Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated this year on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, marking the birth of Lord Ganesha, revered as the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom. This year’s celebration is believed to be especially sacred due to rare and powerful planetary alignments coinciding with the occasion.
According to the Hindu Panchang, the Chaturthi Tithi of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada month will begin at 1:54 PM on Tuesday, August 26, and end at 3:44 PM on Wednesday, August 27. Since the Udaya Tithi (sunrise timing) falls on August 27, the main festival will be observed on that day.
For devotees preparing to welcome Ganpati Bappa into their homes, the most auspicious period for idol installation (Sthapana) has been identified. The shubh muhurat lies between 11:05 AM and 1:40 PM on August 27, making it the ideal time to perform the installation rituals and invoke divine blessings.
This year’s Ganesh Chaturthi holds added significance due to the presence of several auspicious yogas (planetary combinations). Spiritual experts highlight the influence of Priti Yoga, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga, Ravi Yoga, and the rare Indra-Brahma Yoga, all of which enhance the sanctity of worship. Additionally, the conjunction of Mercury and Venus in Cancer forms the highly auspicious Lakshmi Narayan Yoga. The festival falling on a Wednesday, a day devoted to Lord Ganesha, further magnifies its spiritual importance.
The celebrations will span 10 days, beginning with the installation of Ganesha idols in homes, temples, offices, and community pandals. Throughout this period, devotees will perform daily aartis, chant hymns, and prepare offerings such as Modak, Motichoor laddoo, kheer, and malpua, which are considered Lord Ganesha’s favorite delicacies.
As families and communities gear up for the grand festivities, 2025 is being regarded as a particularly prosperous year to seek Lord Ganesha’s blessings for wisdom, success, and harmony.
