Anant Chaturdashi 2025: Vrat & Ganesh Visarjan

Anant Chaturdashi is one of the most important Hindu festivals, celebrated with devotion and grandeur across India. Falling on the Chaturdashi (14th day) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada, this day holds a dual significance—devotees worship Lord Vishnu in his infinite (Anant) form, and it also marks the conclusion of the Ganesh Utsav with Ganesh Visarjan.

The Significance of Anant Chaturdashi

The term “Anant” means endless, symbolizing the eternal form of Lord Vishnu. Observing this vrat is believed to bring prosperity, happiness, and protection from obstacles. Devotees tie a sacred thread known as the Anant Sutra on their right hand, symbolizing divine blessings and infinite protection. Simultaneously, devotees bid farewell to Lord Ganesha on this day, immersing the idols in rivers or lakes with chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya”. The visarjan represents the cycle of creation and dissolution, teaching us detachment and surrender to the divine.

Vrat and Puja Vidhi

1. Devotees take a holy bath early in the morning and observe a fast.

2. Lord Vishnu is worshipped with flowers, fruits, and sweets, along with the chanting of Vishnu Sahasranama.

3. The sacred Anant Sutra (usually a red or yellow thread with 14 knots) is tied on the wrist after prayers.

4. Ganesh Visarjan is performed with rituals, music, and devotion, bidding farewell to Bappa until the next year.

Spiritual Essence

Anant Chaturdashi is not just a ritual but a reminder of the infinite grace of Lord Vishnu and the joyous devotion of Lord Ganesha. It inspires us to live with faith, patience, and gratitude while letting go of worldly attachments.
