MAHARISHI VIDYA MANDIR - PUDUCHERRY

This year, Vinayagar Chaturthi falls on Monday, 14 September 2026. It is observed on Shukla Paksha Chaturthi in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada.

In Tamil Nadu, families commonly worship a clay Vinayagar idol, decorate the puja area with flowers and kolam, and offer items such as arugampul (durva grass), flowers, coconut, fruits and sweets. Modakam/Kozhukattai is particularly associated with Lord Ganesha.

A simple meaning you can explain to school children is:

Vinayagar Chaturthi teaches us to pray for wisdom, think positively, overcome difficulties and begin good things with confidence.

At the end of the observance, the clay Vinayagar idol may be immersed in water (Visarjan), symbolically marking Ganesha's return after his visit. The duration varies according to family and regional traditions.

Since Vinayagar Chaturthi is on 14 September 2026, I can also prepare a special Vinayagar Chaturthi celebration plan for Maharishi Vidya Mandir—including student activities, assembly programme, speech, songs, competitions and a school poster.
