News India Live, Digital Desk: For us Indians, no auspicious work starts without the name of Lord Ganesha. No matter what the year is, the first thing we see is when and what festivals of our beloved ‘Bappa’ are falling. After 2025 has passed, now many devotees have their eyes on the calendar of the year 2026.
The month of January means severe cold, and in this cold comes a warmth which gives comfort to the heart of every devotee – this is ‘Ganesh Jayanti’. We also call it Maghi Ganeshotsav or Til-Kund Chaturthi. Its fame is worth seeing in Maharashtra and South India. But, many people are still confused about the date and time of 2026.
Let us clear all your confusion and tell us when this festival of Bappa will be celebrated.
Ganesh Jayanti 2026: Confirm the date
According to Panchang and dates, in the year 2026, Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha of Magh month i.e. ‘Ganesh Jayanti’ 21 January, Wednesday Will be celebrated.
Yes, Wednesday and worship of Lord Ganesha, call it ‘icing on the cake’! Anyway, Wednesday is considered to be the day of Lord Ganesha, hence this time Ganesh Jayanti is bringing a very special coincidence.
When will the date start?
The thing to note is that Chaturthi Tithi will fall on the night of 20th January itself, but we consider ‘Udaya Tithi’ (the date at the time of sunrise), hence the fast and celebration. 21 January Will be celebrated only. Chaturthi will remain till the evening of 21st, after which Panchami will be celebrated.
What’s the matter with Bhadra?
Often people get scared after seeing the name of ‘Bhadra’ in the almanac that there might be some mistake in the worship. This time too, Ganesh Jayanti is under the influence of Bhadra. According to the scriptures, some auspicious works are prohibited during Bhadra period. But there is no need to panic.
Bhadra period will last from morning to afternoon. But Gajanan himself is the destroyer of obstacles, the destroyer of all troubles and faults. If the intention in worshiping them is clear and there is faith in the heart, then there is no need to be afraid. Still, if you follow the Muhurta very strictly, After Noon (Madhyapan Pooja) It would be considered the best thing to do.
Anyway, ‘noon’ worship has the most importance on Ganesh Jayanti, because it is believed that Bappa was born in the midday period (middle of the day).
How to do puja?
Sesame seeds have great importance on this day. Don’t forget to offer sesame and jaggery laddus to Lord Ganesha. Perform Bappa’s Aarti with red flowers, Durva and Modak. If there is any problem in life, then on this Ganesh Jayanti, do speak your mind to Bappa, He listens to everything.
So friends, set the date of 21st January 2026 as a reminder on your mobile from now, so that there is no shortage in welcoming Bappa.
