Why is September 14, 2026 Chosen (Tithi Rules)?
Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 is observed on Monday, September 14. The festival date and exact timings are determined according to the relevant Panchang calculation and location.
In Hindu Dharmashastra, the festival of Ganesha Chaturthi is governed by the Madhyahna Vyapini Purvaviddha rule. This states that the day on which Chaturthi Tithi prevails during the Madhyahna (midday) period is the legitimate day for festival observance.
The Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi begins on Monday, September 14, 2026 at 07:06 AM and concludes on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 at 07:44 AM. Since the midday Madhyahna phase falls fully within the Chaturthi Tithi on Monday, September 14, the festival is observed on this day.
Inauspicious Timings to Avoid on Chaturthi
Chandra Darshana Prohibition
09:12 AM to 08:10 PM (Hyderabad): Do not look towards the sky or moon during this interval to avert Mithya Dosham.
Rahukalam Interval
07:39 AM to 09:11 AM (Hyderabad): Avoid starting any sacred sankalpam or purchase during Rahukalam.
