Why is Ganesh Chaturthi on Mon 5 Sep in Pāthardi?
Ganesh Chaturthi is on Mon 5 Sep: Chaturthi holds all of madhyahna that day, and no other.
Madhyahna is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 18:54.
Chaturthi holds all of madhyahna, 11:13–13:42. Chaturthi: 18:54 Sun to 21:09.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Madhyahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Ganesha’s puja is done at madhyahna, the middle fifth of the day. Chaturthi runs from 18:54 on Sun 4 Sep to 21:09 on Mon 5 Sep, so only Monday’s madhyahna (11:13–13:42) falls within it.
