[2079 - 2080] Vikrama Samvata
The Hindu calendar features two Chaturthi Tithis for each lunar month. Hindu scriptures state that Bhagwan Ganesha is the rightful owner of the Chaturthi Tithi. Vinayaka Chaturthi and Sankashti Chaturthi are the names of the two Chaturthi that come following Amavasya, or the new moon, in the Shukla Paksha lunar cycle.
Although Vinayaka Chaturthi is observed every month, Bhadrapada is the most important month for Vinayaka Chaturthi, popular as Ganesha Chaturthi. Hindus all around the world celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi as the occasion of Bhagwan Ganesha's birthday.
Vinayaka Chaturthi is also known as Varad Vinayaka Chaturthi. Varad means "praying to Vinayaka Dev to fulfil one’s every wish." Those who maintain this fast are bestowed with wisdom and patience by Bhagwan Ganesha. Humanity has understood for ages the importance of two virtues: patience and wisdom. People with these qualities can see the world in a more positive light and can achieve their goals more efficiently and with less hassle.
On Vinayaka Chaturthi, Ganesha (Ganapati) Puja is performed in the afternoon, which is the middle of the day in the Hindu calendar.
It is crucial to realise that even when two cities are located inside the same Indian state, their fasting days may vary on Vinayaka Chaturthi. Vinayaka Chaturthi fasting is observed when Chaturthi Tithi is dominant at noon and relies on the sunrise and sunset times. Therefore, one day before Vinayaka Chaturthi, or Tritiya Tithi, fasting may be followed. You can also check panchang websites, which show location-based Vinayaka Chaturthi tithi (day, date and time), as midday time depends on sunrise and sunset, which vary from place to place. The majority of online platforms that claim to show the Hindu calendar ignore this fact and publish a single list for all Indian cities because it takes time to generate location-based dates. Therefore, you are recommended to consult the Hindu panchang (calendar), available with pujaris or pandits, if you have any doubts.
