About this festival
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha with home and community idols, and ends with visarjan after up to ten days. By tradition, seeing the moon on this night is avoided (it is said to bring false blame, "mithya dosh"), so people want to know until when the moon stays in the sky.
How it is observed
- Ganesh sthapana (installing the idol) during the midday muhurat.
- Offer modak, durva and red flowers.
- Avoid looking at the moon until moonset; if seen by mistake, the Syamantaka mani story is recited.
Calculated for Una, Himachal Pradesh (31.49°N, 76.28°E) with a flat horizon. Behind buildings or hills the moon can appear a few minutes later.
