Overview

• Anant Chaturdashi is the concluding day of Ganeshotsav when idols are immersed in water, ending the 10‑day celebration.
• Times Now lists the date as September 7, while Free Press Journal cites Drik Panchang’s chaturdashi tithi from 3:12 a.m. Sept. 6 to 1:41 a.m. Sept. 7, with local shubh muhurat guiding observance.
• Processions, puja and aarti precede immersion in rivers, lakes or the sea, and many households now opt for eco‑friendly idols.
• Observers of the Anant Vrata tie the 14‑knotted Anant Sutra and make offerings such as Panchamrit while reciting the Vishnu Sahasranama.
• Spiritual commentary frames Visarjan as a practice of surrender and detachment, balancing Ganesha’s beginnings with Vishnu’s continuity.
