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 message that can be explained 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 Lord Ganesha’s return after his visit. The duration of the observance varies according to **family and regional traditions**.
