The ten-day Ganeshotsav is coming to an end, with preparations underway for the grand Ganesha Visarjan 2025 ritual. After Ganesha Chaturthi, it is customary to immerse Lord Ganesha’s idol in water as part of the farewell ceremony. As the festival is coming to an end, here are the dates and timings of the Ganesh Visarjan.
The festival, which begins on Ganesha Chaturthi in the month of Bhadrapada, culminates on Anant Chaturdashi. The final day, marked by Ganesha Visarjan, draws devotees in large numbers to bid farewell to the deity with processions, music and chants.
Ganesh Visarjan Date
Ganesha Visarjan, or the immersion ritual, is performed on Anant Chaturdashi. This year, the event falls on Saturday, 6 September.
Anant Chaturdashi is not only one of the most prominent days for Ganesha Visarjan but also a day to worship Lord Vishnu in his eternal form, Anant.
Ganesh Visarjan muhurat and timings
According to Drik Panchang, several muhurats are available on Anant Chaturdashi, i.e., 6 September, starting from early morning till late at night on 7 September.
- Morning Muhurat (Shubha) – 07:36 AM to 09:10 AM
- Afternoon Muhurat (Chara, Labha, Amrita) – 12:19 PM to 05:02 PM
- Evening Muhurat (Labha) – 06:37 PM to 08:02 PM
- Early Morning Muhurat (Labha) – 04:36 AM to 06:02 AM on September 7
- Night Muhurat (Shubha, Amrita, Chara) – 09:28 PM to 01:45 AM on September 7
Chaturdashi Tithi Begins at 03:12 AM on 6 September 2025 and ends at 01:41 AM on 7 September 2025.
Ganesh Visarjan muhurats on other days
Visarjan of Ganesha idols is also performed on earlier days by different communities.
However, many devotees choose to perform Visarjan only on the last day of Ganesha puja or Ganeshotsav, which is 6 September, with some continuing into early 7 September.
Ganesh Visarjan Significance
Since the Ganesha puja concludes on Anant Chaturdashi, devotees bid farewell to the deity with honour and devotion. Before immersing the idol, the Uttarpuja (concluding ritualistic worship) is performed.
Uttarpuja means bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha with due reverence, in which haldi and kumkum are offered to the deity. Other than that, an aarti is also performed, and the worship concludes by offering the lord with mantrapushpanjali (floral offerings with chants).
During the procession, items like curd, puffed rice, coconut, and modak are offered to Lord Ganesha. The idol is then immersed in flowing waters, with the belief that Ganesha will return next year.
