Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 kab hai: September 14 or 15? Know the correct date and time, when to buy Ganpati and which trunk direction is considered auspicious for Bappa murti

Ganesh Chaturthi kab hai 2026 mein: Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 will be celebrated on September 14, not September 15. The Chaturthi tithi continues until September 15 morning, which is why the date can cause confusion. For New Delhi, Ganpati Sthapana muhurat is 11:02 am to 1:31 pm on September 14. Traditional Vastu guidance generally favours a left-curving trunk for home worship, an intact seated idol and a natural clay or biodegradable murti.
