About Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birth of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god of beginnings, wisdom and the removal of obstacles. It falls on the fourth lunar day of the waxing moon (Shukla Chaturthi) in the month of Bhadrapada. Families and community groups install a clay idol of Ganesha, worship him for one to ten days, and then immerse the idol in water (visarjan).

Ganesh Chaturthi in Nairobi: questions
When is Ganesh Chaturthi 2027 in Nairobi?
Friday, 3 September 2027, by Nairobi's own sunrise and moonrise. In India (New Delhi) it is on Saturday, 4 September 2027, a day later.
What is the madhyahna ganesh puja muhurat time in Nairobi?
11:50 AM to 01:45 PM on Friday, 3 September 2027, local time in Nairobi.
Why is Ganesh Chaturthi on a different day in Nairobi than in India?
A festival's date follows the tithi in force at the right moment of the local day (sunrise, Pradosh, midnight or moonrise). Nairobi's day starts at a different instant from New Delhi's, so the same tithi can fall on Friday, 3 September 2027 there and Saturday, 4 September 2027 in India. Both are correct for their place.
