Many Indian festivals follow lunar calendars, so dates shift each year. We label those “estimated” and never invent precision — confirm locally before booking.

August 2026

Maharashtra

14 September – 24 September 2026 (estimated)

Set by the lunar calendar — confirm nearer the time.

Ten days of public and household worship of Ganesha, ending in immersion processions; a Maharashtra civic institution since the 1890s.

Etiquette: Remove shoes at pandals. Immersion crowds are dense and loud; keep clear of the chariot ropes.
