Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha and this year it falls on September 10, 2021. Lord Ganesha is believed to have been born during Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. Therefore, Ganesh Chaturthi day falls in the month of August or September as per the English calendar.

On Anant Chaturdashi, also known as Ganesh Visarjan Day, devotees bid farewell to bappa by immersing idols in in water bodies after a vigour-filled street procession.
