Ganesh Chaturthi 2025: This year, Ganesh Chaturthi will be celebrated on August 27th, and installing a Ganpati idol in homes on this day is considered auspicious. According to astrologers, installing the idol between 11:05 AM and 1:40 PM will be most beneficial. When buying a Ganpati idol, choose a seated clay idol and install it in the Ishan corner (northeast direction) of the house. Doing so maintains positive energy, prosperity, and peace in the house, while also maximizing the impact of the worship.
Auspicious Time for Ganesh Chaturthi
This year, installing the idol after 11 AM on Ganesh Chaturthi is considered most auspicious. Even before that, you can bring Ganpati home between 7:33 AM to 9:09 AM and 10:46 AM to 12:22 PM, following the auspicious Choghadiya timings. Some devotees also bring the Ganpati idol on Hartalika Teej, i.e., August 26th; it is auspicious to install it between 9:09 AM and 1:59 PM on this day. Installing the idol during this auspicious time removes all obstacles from life and provides blessings for a new beginning.
The Midday Period is Most Auspicious
According to Hindu beliefs, Lord Ganesha was born during midday. Therefore, the time between 11:05 AM and 1:40 PM is considered most beneficial for Ganpati puja and idol installation. Installing the idol during this time brings prosperity, peace, and the removal of all obstacles to the home.
Direction and Place for Idol Installation
After buying the idol, installing it in the correct direction and place is also important. According to Vastu and religious beliefs, the northeast direction, or Ishan corner, is considered the most auspicious and sacred place in the house. Installing Ganpati in this direction ensures positive energy, spiritual benefits, and a prosperous atmosphere.
Things to Keep in Mind While Buying the Idol
Experts advise that a clay Ganesh idol is considered the best. Bappa's trunk should be facing left, and the idol should be in a seated posture. Vermillion and white-colored idols are considered more effective. Also, ensure that the idol is not broken or damaged anywhere.
By installing the idol following the correct auspicious time and direction on Ganesh Chaturthi, this festival becomes even more auspicious, and a happy atmosphere is ensured in the home.
