2. What Ganesh Chaturthi is
Ganesh Chaturthi (Vinayaka Chaturthi) celebrates the birth of Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, who is worshipped first at the start of any undertaking. It falls on the Chaturthi (fourth lunar day) of the bright fortnight of Bhadrapada. Families and community groups install a clay image of Ganesha, worship it with modaks, durva grass and red flowers, and after one and a half, three, five, seven or ten days immerse it in water (visarjan). The ten-day festival ends on Anant Chaturdashi. It is celebrated most of all in Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and among their communities abroad.
3. Why India is a day later
The Ganesha puja is prescribed at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the daytime, on the day the Chaturthi tithi holds then. In 2027 the Chaturthi begins at 14:20 IST on 3 September, after midday in India, so India keeps Ganesh Chaturthi on Saturday 4 September, when the Chaturthi holds at midday until 12:26 IST. In the UK it begins at 09:50 BST on 3 September, before midday, so the UK, USA and Canada keep it on Friday 3 September.
