As Ganesh Chaturthi approaches on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, devotees are preparing to welcome Lord Ganesha into their homes.
The timing of bringing the Ganapathi idol home holds significant importance for a blessed and auspicious celebration.
Here are the recommended timings based on the panchangam for August 27, 2025.
The Chaturthi Tithi for Ganesh Chaturthi begins at 1:54 PM on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, and concludes at 3:44 PM on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
The most sacred period for performing the main Ganesh Puja is the Madhyahna Puja Muhurat, which falls from 11:05 AM to 1:40 PM on August 27th.
While the Madhyahna Muhurat is ideal for the pranapratishtha (installation and consecration) of the idol, there are several other auspicious time slots throughout the day to bring Ganapathi home.
These are based on the Choghadiya, a traditional Hindu astrological calendar that indicates favorable and unfavorable periods.
Shubh Muhurat Timings to Bring Ganapathi Home on August 27, 2025:
You can choose a convenient and auspicious time from the following Choghadiya muhurats to bring the idol home.
It is generally advised to bring the idol home before the Madhyahna Puja Muhurat to perform the sthapana (installation) during the most auspicious period.
Morning Timings:
* Char (General): 6:11 AM to 7:45 AM
* Labh (Benefit): 7:45 AM to 9:19 AM
* Amrit (Nectar): 9:19 AM to 10:53 AM
Bringing the idol during these morning hours is highly recommended as it allows ample time for preparations for the Madhyahna Puja.
Afternoon Timings:
* Shubh (Auspicious): 12:27 PM to 2:01 PM
If you are unable to bring the idol in the morning, this is another favorable window in the afternoon.
Evening Timings:
* Shubh (Auspicious): 5:09 PM to 6:43 PM
* Amrit (Nectar): 6:43 PM to 8:09 PM
Devotees who wish to bring the idol home in the evening can do so during these auspicious times.
It is advisable to avoid the periods of Rog, Kaal, and Udweg for bringing the idol home.
On August 27, 2025, these timings are:
* Rog (Disease): 10:53 AM to 12:27 PM
* Udweg (Anxiety): 2:01 PM to 3:35 PM
* Kaal (Time of Negative Influence): 3:35 PM to 5:09 PM
By choosing one of the recommended auspicious timings, you can ensure a blessed and joyous start to the ten-day Ganeshotsav festival.
