Ganesh Chaturthi 2026: Sthapana Muhurat and Visarjan Dates
Tithi stands for the lunar day and can start or finish at any clock time during the day. Madhyahna is considered the midday of Hindus in terms of invocation of Lord Ganesha. Sthapana must be commenced during the time of Chaturthi and local Madhyahna overlapping for best results. The altar has to be prepared in advance, so that the main rituals can be performed within the time of necessity.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2026: Sthapana Muhurat and Visarjan Dates
Use a Panchang according to your own town instead of finding the one nearest to a metro city. You must first check the local Chaturthi tithi and the Madhyahna timing for your area and then follow your local practices as well as that of your priest, if they seem to vary from what is mentioned above.
Janmashtami 2026: Nishita Puja Time and Fasting Rules
If you live outside India, use a Panchang calculated for your city rather than converting the New Delhi time. Local sunrise, sunset and tithi boundaries can change both Nishita Kaal and, in some countries, the civil observance date. Your local temple’s 2026 calendar is usually the most practical reference for both the fasting day and the main puja schedule.
