Ganesh Chaturthi 2024: In Hindu mythology, the Chaturthi of the Krishna Paksha in the Bhadrapada month holds great significance. It is believed that on this day, Lord Ganesha descends to Earth and resides here for 10 days to relieve his devotees of their suffering. According to tradition, Lord Ganesha, the son of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, was born on this day. Installing Lord Ganesha in the home on Ganesh Chaturthi is said to bring happiness and prosperity throughout the year. But the question remains, will Ganesh Chaturthi be celebrated on September 6 or 7 this year?

According to the Panchang, the Chaturthi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Bhadrapada month will begin at 03:01 PM on September 6, 2024, and end at 05:37 PM on September 7.
