Chaguanas · Monday, 14 September 2026

The day, hour by hour

  1. Vrat begins

    5:55 AM

  2. Don't look at the moon

    8:46 AM – 8:32 PM

    Krishna was accused of stealing the Syamantaka jewel after seeing the moon on this Chaturthi. If you do see it, listen to that story — that is the whole remedy.

  3. Sthapana · madhyahna

    10:48 AM – 1:14 PM

    Ganesh ji was born at midday; the murti is seated in the middle three muhurtas, while Chaturthi still prevails.

  4. Sandhya aarti

    6:22 PM

    The evening aarti is when the family gathers, every day the murti is in the house.

  5. Morning puja

    7:33 AMTuesday, 15 September

    Every morning he is in the house he is bathed, given fresh durva and flowers, fed and shown the lamp. It is the same round each day, and it is short.

  6. Visarjan

    9:10 AM – 6:06 PMTuesday, 15 September

    The uttar puja comes first, then the murti is moved a little from its seat, and only then does it leave the house.

Day 1 · 14 SepDay 2 · 15 Sep

Times for Chaguanas, Trinidad in AST, UTC−4, rounded to the minute, computed by Kalava's engine for this town's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise. How

Ganesh ji was born at midday, so the murti is seated then. He is asked first in every house because he is the one who clears the way.

The vrat

The vrat is for whoever does the puja; the rest of the family eats once the naivedya is offered. While Bappa is in the house, most homes cook without onion and garlic.

How long Bappa stays is a family decision, not a rule: a day and a half in most Maharashtrian homes, three in Karnataka and the Telugu country, one in Tamil Nadu, ten only in the homes that have always done ten.

Every town is its own sunrise
