How the day is chosen

Anant Chaturdashi is the Bhādrapada śukla Caturdaśī at sunrise, kept when it lasts three muhūrtas after it, and by the secondary rule when it lasts two. When it lasts under two, the earlier day is kept, and when it holds the sunrise on both days, the earlier day is kept as the complete one. The worship is in the forenoon, else at midday. The Nirṇaya-sindhu takes the Caturdaśī covering midday on either day instead, calling the sunrise rule mistaken; its day is shown where it differs. Dharmasindhu p. 58; Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 210⁠–⁠211

Questions

From the Dharmasindhu p. 58; Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 210⁠–⁠211, with the page for each.

When is Anant Chaturdashi 2027?

In Delhi, on Tuesday, 14 September 2027, with the Ananta pūjā in the forenoon, 06:06 – 12:16. Every city on this page keeps the same day. Dharmasindhu p. 58

Is Ganesh Visarjan on Anant Chaturdashi?

Popularly, yes: Anant Chaturdashi is the last day of the Ganesh immersions in Maharashtra and elsewhere, and is often called Ganesh Visarjan Day. The texts read do not prescribe the immersion; they give the day to the Ananta vow. Dharmasindhu p. 58

Why can calendars differ by a day?

The texts read give two rules. The Dharmasindhu takes the Caturdaśī at sunrise lasting three muhūrtas, or failing that two. The Nirṇaya-sindhu takes the Caturdaśī covering midday on either day and calls the sunrise rule mistaken. They part when the Caturdaśī begins before midday on the earlier day and ends before midday on the later, at least two muhūrtas after sunrise: the Nirṇaya-sindhu then keeps the earlier day and the Dharmasindhu the later. This page follows the Dharmasindhu and shows the Nirṇaya-sindhu’s day beside it. Dharmasindhu p. 58; Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 210⁠–⁠211

Why is the date different in the US or UK?

Anant Chaturdashi is decided by the Caturdaśī at sunrise at the city. The tithi begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but sunrise and sunset come at different hours, so a city far to the west or east can keep another day. Dharmasindhu p. 58
