Ganeshotsav 2026 Extended to 12 Days Due to Lunar Calendar Dates
Ganeshotsav 2026 will be celebrated over 12 days, from September 14 to September 25, longer than the usual 10-day period. This extension is due to the Hindu lunar calendar, which determines festival dates based on lunar tithis. The festival honors Lord Ganesha and includes prayers, cultural events, and culminates with Ganesh Visarjan. In Maharashtra, Ganeshotsav is a significant social and cultural event, and the 2026 dates reflect the lunar calendar's variation rather than a fixed schedule.
