Anant Chaturdashi
Also known as: Ganesh Visarjan
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
"Anant" means endless — this day honours Vishnu in his infinite form, and devotees tie a sacred thread with fourteen knots for protection through the year. It is also the final day of Ganesh festivities, when Ganesha idols are carried in procession and immersed in water.
