Anant Chaturdashi 2024: Anant Chaturdashi is a significant day for devotees of Lord Vishnu and also marks the conclusion of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The 10-day Ganpati festivities culminate on Anant Chaturdashi.
On this sacred day, devotees worship Lord Anant, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, seeking his blessings for prosperity and protection from adversities. Devotees observe a day-long fast and perform puja while tying sacred threads.
The term ‘Anant’ means ‘eternal,’ while ‘Chaturdashi’ refers to the fourteenth day. Rituals include fasting and tying a holy thread with 14 knots, symbolizing a 14-year commitment to Lord Vishnu. The festival involves prayers for family purity and well-being, reflecting deep devotion, willpower, and hope for divine blessings to restore lost prosperity.
Anant Chaturdashi also signifies Ganesh Visarjan, the immersion of Ganesh idols from pandals and homes into nearby water bodies. This year, Anant Chaturdashi and Ganpati Visarjan are observed on September 17, 2024.
