Ganesh Visarjan 2026: Auspicious Timings for Fifth Day Immersion on September 18
Ganesh Visarjan 2026 on the fifth day falls on September 18, with devotees observing immersion rituals during auspicious Choghadiya periods. While Anant Chaturdashi, the 11th day, is the most significant for idol immersion, many families follow local customs to perform Visarjan on earlier odd-numbered days like the fifth. The ceremony marks the conclusion of worship, symbolizing Lord Ganesha's return to his divine abode, accompanied by prayers for prosperity and obstacle removal.
