Questions
From the Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 47, 198, with the page for each.
When is Ganesh Chaturthi 2027?
In Delhi, on Saturday, 4 September 2027, with the pūjā at midday, 11:04 to 12:26. In London, New York City, Toronto and Dubai, it is Friday, 3 September. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 47, 198
Why is the date decided by midday?
The texts set Gaṇeśa’s worship at midday for this vrata, so the Caturthī that holds the midday decides the day. The next day is kept if the Caturthī reaches its midday, and otherwise the earlier day, joined with Tṛtīyā. Midday is the third fifth of the daytime. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 28, 47
Why should the moon not be seen on Ganesh Chaturthi?
Seeing the Moon on this Caturthī is said to bring a false accusation, so it is not looked at while the Caturthī runs. A Moon that rose during the Caturthī may be seen once Pañcamī begins. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 198 (Mārkaṇḍeya)
Is Vinayaka Chaturthi the same festival?
Yes. Vināyaka is a name of Gaṇeśa, and Vinayagar Chaturthi is the Tamil form; all name the Bhādrapada śukla Caturthī.
Why is the date different in the US or UK?
Ganesh Chaturthi is decided by the Caturthī at midday 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. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 47, 198
How the day is found
Read the methodology- The day
- The Bhādrapada śukla Caturthī. The next day is kept if the Caturthī reaches its midday, and otherwise the earlier day, joined with Tṛtīyā. Nirṇaya-sindhu pp. 47, 198.
- Midday
- Madhyāhna, the third fifth of the daytime (Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 28). The pūjā window is that day’s madhyāhna while the Caturthī runs.
- The Moon
- Not looked at while the Caturthī runs; once Pañcamī begins, it may be. Nirṇaya-sindhu p. 198.
- Sunrise and sunset
- At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every date is that city’s own.
