Ganesh Visarjan for the 2026 festival falls on Friday, September 25, concluding the ten-day Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The Economic Times reports that according to the Panchang, the Chaturdashi Tithi begins at 11:18 PM on September 24 and ends at 11:06 PM on September 25, with Anant Chaturdashi observed on September 25 as the Tithi prevails at sunrise. Auspicious morning muhurat runs from 6:10 AM to 10:42 AM, and a night muhurat from 9:13 PM to 10:43 PM, all in IST for Delhi-NCR.
The Times of India covers the festival largely through celebrity participation, reporting that videos have resurfaced of actor Govinda and his wife Ssunita Ahuja dancing during last year's visarjan. Govinda was recently spotted at Mumbai's Lalbaugcha Raja with co-star Komal Rani Swarnkar, while Sunita Ahuja visited the pandal separately. Devotees across Mumbai are participating in final immersion ceremonies as Anant Chaturdashi marks the end of the 2026 Ganesh Chaturthi festivities.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Economic Times frames Ganesh Visarjan as a ritual event, providing precise Panchang timings and puja instructions, a neutral-report service piece. The Times of India leads with celebrity angles, resurfacing Govinda and his family's past celebrations and his separate pandal visit with Komal Rani Swarnkar, which leans sensationalist by prioritising drama over substance. A balanced reading notes that while The Economic Times serves devotees seeking practical information, The Times of India offers human interest. Readers should verify local visarjan timings with their own Panchang, as the timings given are only for Delhi-NCR.
For 2027, watch for the Panchang announcement of the exact Chaturdashi Tithi, which determines the date.
