Vinayagar Chaturthi 2026 Date & Info - Pillayar Sathurthi in Tamil Nadu

Vinayagar Chaturthi is celebrated on September 14, 2026 (Monday). September 14th is official Tamil Nadu Government Public Holiday date.

Lord Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi. Lord Vigneshwara, the remover of obstacles, is the head of all the 'Ganas' i.e., devoted followers, attendants and warriors of Lord Shiva.

Vinayagar Chaturthi In Tamil Nadu Temples:

In Temples on Vinayagar Chaturthi, Maha Abhishekam will be done to Lord Ganapati amidst the Vedic Chants like Ganapati Atharvashirsham, Ganesha Suktam etc.

Special Homam like Maha Ganapathi Homam, Sahasra Modaka Homan, Chintamani Mahaganapathi Aganda Mahayagam, Laksharachanai will be performed in Temples.

Special Neivedyam called Modakam will be offered to Lord Ganesha during the Shodasa Upachara Puja. Then Mahadeeparadhanai (i.e., Aarti) will be done to Lord Ganapati

In many Temples, Sri Vinayagar Utsava Murthi will give darshan in Mooshika Vahanam in the Mada Veethis of Temples and bless devotees.

In Pillayarpatti 10 Day Brahmotsavam will conclude with Therthavari on Vinayagar Chaturthi. Pillayar will bless devotees in various Vahanam during the Festival

Malaikottai Modakam:

In Tiruchi Rock Fort Temple, total 150 kg Kozhukattai (Modakam) will be offered as Neivedyam on Vinayagar Chaturthi. One Kolukattai weighing 75 kg will be offered to Manikka Vinayagar at base of the hill and another Kozhukattai weighing 75 kg will be offered to Ucchi Pillayar at top of Malaikottai.

The Malaikottai Modakam is made with 6 kg Grated Coconut, 60 kg Raw Rice Flour, 60 kg Jaggery Balls, 4 kg Cardamom-Jaathikaai-Sesame, 30 kg Ghee. The ingredients are boiled in Hot Water and 150 kg Kozhukattai is prepared.

Apart from the Vinayagar Chaturthi Festival, Special Pujas are held to Lord Ganesh on Shukla Paksha Chaturthi & Krishna Paksha Sankatahara Chaturthi every month in Temples.

Chaturthi Tithi Time:

All over India, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on Shukla Paksha Chaturthi Tithi in Bhadrapada Month (i.e., fourth day in bright fortnight of Bhadrapada Month).

In Tamil Panchangam, the corresponding month is mostly Aavani Masam Valarpirai Sathurthi. Sometimes rarely the corresponding month will be Purattasi Masam.

In 2026 Bhadrapada Month, Shukla Paksha Chaturthi Tithi

- starts at 8.36 am IST (Sep 14th - Monday Morning)

- ends at 9.18 am IST (Sep 15th - Tuesday Morning)

Lord Vigneshwara:

Lord Ganapati is worshiped at the start of any venture to remove obstacles. One way by which Lord Ganesh removes obstacles is by changing the mindset of those creating troubles i.e., making trouble creators feel 'let me not hinder the effort of others'.

Ganesh Utsav in Maharashtra:

In Maharashtra, especially Mumbai, Ganesh Utsav is celebrated for 10 days from Bhadrapad Shukla Chaturthi (September 14, 2026 - Monday) to Anant Chaturdashi (Sept 25th, 2026 - Friday).

There will be many Ganesh Mandals around the city with various themes. Some of the famous Ganesh Mandals that attract lakhs of devotees include The Lalbaugcha Raja, Khetwadi Ganraj, GSB Seva Kings Circle, Andhericha Raja, Ganesh Galli Mumbaicha Raja etc

At home, devotees will do Puja to clay idols of Lord Ganesha. After ten days of Puja, Ganesh Visarjan (immersion of idol - Nimajjan) takes place on the Ananth Chaturdashi.

'Ganpati Bappa Morya! Mangala Moorthy Morya!'

Next Year Ganesh Chaturthi:

In 2027, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on September 4, 2027 (Saturday)
