Visarjan Date 2025 – Your Quick Guide to Ganesh Chaturthi Immersion

Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most loved festivals in India. While the excitement builds around the aarti and the new clay idol, the real climax comes on Visarjan – the day we send the idol back to the water. If you’re wondering when the Visarjan will happen in 2025 and how to make it smooth, you’re in the right place. Below is a simple, no‑fluff rundown that helps you plan ahead.

Key Dates for Ganesh Chaturthi 2025

The main festival starts on September 2, 2025 (Shukla Paksha Chaturthi) and lasts for ten days. The traditional immersion, called Visarjan, is observed on the tenth day – September 11, 2025. Some regions, especially in Maharashtra and Karnataka, may shift the day by a day based on the lunar calendar, but September 11 is the most widely accepted date for 2025.

Here’s a quick calendar snapshot:

Sept 2 – Ganesh Chaturthi (Start of celebrations)
Sept 7 – Sankashti Chaturthi (special prayers for Lord Ganesha)
Sept 11 – Visarjan (idol immersion)

Mark these dates on your phone or wall calendar so you don’t miss the big finale.

How to Plan a Safe and Eco‑Friendly Visarjan

Visarjan isn’t just a ritual; it’s a chance to show respect for the environment. Here are three practical steps you can follow:

Choose a biodegradable idol. Clay idols mixed with natural paints break down quickly in water. Avoid plaster or chemical‑based decorations – they pollute rivers and lakes.
Pick an approved immersion spot. Many cities have designated immersion ghats or artificial ponds. In Mumbai, check the list of municipal ghats; in Delhi, look for the artificial pond at Nigambodh Ghat. Using approved sites keeps crowds organized and reduces traffic jams.
Plan your transport. Public transport or car‑pooling eases congestion. If you’re driving, arrive early to avoid the rush hour that often follows the aarti.

Don’t forget to carry a small trash bag for any leftover decorations. A quick clean‑up after the ceremony shows community spirit and keeps the water clean.

If you’re hosting a Visarjan at home, you can set up a temporary immersion tank in your backyard. Fill it with water, let the idol soak for a few minutes, then gently pour the water into a nearby drain that leads to a municipal treatment plant. This method works well in apartments or houses without easy access to public ghats.

Finally, stay safe. The water can be slippery, especially after rain, so wear non‑slip shoes. Keep an eye on children and pets, and follow any local COVID‑19 or health guidelines that may still be in place.

By following these tips, your Visarjan will be smooth, respectful, and environmentally friendly. Celebrate Lord Ganesha’s blessings, enjoy the community vibe, and help keep our rivers clean for the next generation.

Remember, the spirit of Visarjan is about letting go and moving forward. Whether you’re a first‑timer or a seasoned celebrant, this guide equips you with the basics you need for a hassle‑free day on September 11, 2025.
