Ganesh Chaturthi, one of India’s most beloved festivals, is celebrated with immense devotion and joy every year. In 2024, Ganesh Chaturthi falls on Saturday, September 7. This auspicious occasion marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the deity of wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune.
For those planning to bring home the Ganpati idol, it is important to do so during the most favorable time, also known as the Muhurta. In 2024, the ideal time to bring the Ganpati idol home is during the Madhyahna Ganesh Puja Muhurat, which typically occurs between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM, as per Hindu traditions. However, this time may vary slightly based on geographical location and local customs.
Many devotees bring the idol home a day before or on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi itself, believing it to bring divine blessings and protection to their homes. Chaturthi Tithi, or the fourth day of the lunar month, begins at 1:00 PM on September 6 and ends at 3:00 PM on September 7, giving ample time to conduct the rituals with devotion.
Remember, bringing Lord Ganesha home is not just about following the rituals, but also about invoking positive energy, unity, and love in the household. It is a time for families to come together in prayer and celebration, honoring Lord Ganesha and seeking his blessings for the year ahead.
