Puja muhurat in Visakhapatnam
In Visakhapatnam, the Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 puja window runs 10:38 AM to 1:06 PM on 14 September 2026, a Monday. That is 24 minutes earlier than New Delhi, because the sun rises earlier in Visakhapatnam and the window is cut from the local sunrise.
How this timing is worked out
Sunrise in Visakhapatnam that day is 5:44 AM and sunset is 6:00 PM. The muhurat window is cut from that daylight span, which is why it differs from one city to the next. The rule: Chaturthi tithi of the Shukla paksha in purnimanta Bhadrapada, prevailing at madhyahna (midday).
What Ganesh Chaturthi is
The arrival of Ganesha, remover of obstacles. The installation is done at madhyahna, which is the window the date is fixed by.
