🪔 Puja Muhurat
| Occasion | Time (IST) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ganpati Sthapana Muhurat (Madhyahna) | 11:04 am – 12:26 pm | Madhyahna Kaal (the middle of the 5 classical daylight divisions, roughly midday) intersected with Chaturthi tithi — the classical time for Ganpati Sthapana, since Lord Ganesha is said to have appeared at this hour. (narrower than the full classical window this year, since the tithi doesn't cover all of it.) Within this window, the best time to use is 11:55 AM – 12:26 PM (Excellent · Abhijit). |
About Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity of wisdom and new beginnings, on Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. Families and communities install Ganpati idols (Ganpati Sthapana) at the classical Madhyahna Kaal (midday) muhurat and worship them for a period ranging from 1.5 to 11 days, culminating in Ganesh Visarjan — immersion of the idol in water, symbolizing the cycle of creation and dissolution.
