Ganesh Visarjan 2025 will be celebrated on Saturday, 6 September 2025, which falls on Anant Chaturdashi. The day marks the conclusion of the 10-day Ganeshotsav festival that begins with Ganesh Chaturthi.
Ganesh Visarjan is considered one of the most emotional and spiritual days for devotees, as it symbolises bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha with the promise of his return next year. In many parts of India, it is also called Ganpati Visarjan or Vinayaka Nimajjanam.

In 2025, Ganesh ji visarjan will be performed on 6 September during Anant Chaturdashi. Devotees immerse the idol of Lord Ganesha into rivers, lakes or the sea after offering coconuts, flowers and sweets, accompanied by chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya”.

Ganesh Ji Visarjan rituals and puja vidhi
On visarjan day, devotees perform a final aarti before the idol, offer modaks, flowers and fruits, and chant mantras. A red or yellow cloth is often tied around the idol before immersion.
The idol is then taken through a street procession with music, dhol-tasha and dancing. Devotees keep repeating the slogan “Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya” (Come back soon next year, Lord Ganesha).
Significance of Anant Chaturdashi in Ganesh Visarjan
Anant Chaturdashi holds dual importance. While it marks the final day of Ganeshotsav, it is also a sacred day to worship Lord Vishnu in his Anant form. Devotees tie a sacred thread (Anant Sutra) on their arms for protection and prosperity. Many also observe day-long fasting rituals dedicated to Lord Vishnu.

In other states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, Ganesh Visarjan is known as Vinayaka Nimajjanam and celebrated with equal devotion and energy.
Ganesh Visarjan slogans and traditions
During visarjan, the atmosphere is filled with devotional chants. Common slogans include:
- Ganpati Bappa Morya
- Ganesh Maharaj Ki Jai
- Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya
These chants not only express devotion but also keep the festive spirit alive during the emotional farewell.
Spiritual importance of visarjan in Hinduism
The visarjan symbolises the cycle of creation and dissolution in the universe. It reminds devotees that life is temporary, and everything eventually returns to the five elements. By immersing the idol, devotees embrace humility, detachment, and faith in Lord Ganesha’s return.
