Why the Ganesh Chaturthi muhurat matters
Ganesha is believed to have been born during Madhyahna — the midday period — so the sthapana (installation) and pranapratishtha are timed to the Madhyahna window, shown below. This is the single most important timing of the festival.
Do's
- Install the idol and perform pranapratishtha during the Madhyahna muhurat shown below.
- Offer 21 modaks or durva grass, Ganesha's favourites.
- Face east or north while performing the sthapana.
Don'ts
- Avoid sthapana during Rahu Kaal, Gulika or Yamaghanda.
- Don't sight the moon on Ganesh Chaturthi night (Mithya Dosha); it is traditionally avoided.
