View this day’s panchang →How it is observed
Some families observe Ananta worship and a sacred-thread custom; public Ganesh immersions follow local arrangements.
Gujarati tradition and context
The fourteen-knotted Ananta thread is traditionally linked with the fourteen worlds and remembrance of the infinite. The vrata and Ganesh immersion may share a date, but they remain distinct observances.
Practical preparation
For home worship, prepare the thread, flowers, fruit and prasad according to family custom. For a public immersion, check local timings, routes, water-safety measures and municipal instructions in advance.
