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.

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'.
