This will be completed on 7 September 2024 on the day of Anant Chaturdashi. Ganesh Utsav is reliably observed to begin on the Chaturthi Tithi of the Shukla Paksha of the Bhadrapada month. On this day, the icon of Ruler Ganesha is introduced in homes and pandals. This celebration of Ganeshotsav is commended with incredible grandeur all around the country. After worshiping for ten days, Ganpati Bappa is submerged in Ganesh Chaturthi. Knowing a few principles before Ganesh Sthapana is vital. Assuming you will introduce Ganpati ji at home and have any issues, then, at that point, talk to the astrologer.
