This date has passed; see the next edition below.
What this day is
Ganesha is welcomed home on the fourth day of the bright half of Bhadrapada and hosted like family: for a day and a half, three, five, seven, or the full ten days to Anant Chaturdashi.
How families observe it at home
Families install a small murti (natural clay is traditional and kind to waterways), offer modak and durva grass, and do a short morning and evening aarti for as many days as they host him. Visarjan can be done gently at home in a bucket or tub if there is no community immersion nearby.
