Ganesha Visarjan 2025: Date, Significance, and Rituals

Ganesha Visarjan marks the final ritual of the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, where devotees bid farewell to Lord Ganesha by immersing His idol in a river, sea, or clean water source. It symbolises detachment, spiritual liberation, and the belief that every ending is a new beginning.

The festival begins on Ganesh Chaturthi and concludes with the Visarjan — the immersion of Ganesha idols on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th or 10th day, with Anant Chaturdashi being the most auspicious day for Ganesha Visarjan.

Significance of Ganesh Visarjan

The visarjan ritual reminds us of the impermanence of life and encourages us to let go of attachments, just as we lovingly immerse the idol of Bappa.

Spiritual Meaning:

Symbol of anitya (impermanence)
Represents the cycle of birth, life, and moksha
Encourages detachment and spiritual reflection
Invokes Lord Ganesha’s blessings as He returns to Mount Kailash

Ganesha Visarjan is not a goodbye, but a promise of His return next year.

Eco-Friendly Ganesha Visarjan Ideas

Do Visarjan in a bucket or artificial pond
Reuse immersion water for plants
Decorate with natural flowers instead of plastic

Eco-friendly Visarjan pleases both Lord Ganesha and Mother Earth.

Story Behind Ganesh Visarjan

According to Hindu scriptures, after being invoked with Vedic mantras, Lord Ganesha stays with the devotee for ten days. On Anant Chaturdashi, He returns to Kailash Parvat to bless the world from there.

The visarjan is a symbol of detachment — a reminder that all forms are temporary, but devotion is eternal.
