Additionally, in Britain especially, some celebrations may also occur at the weekend rather than during the week when many are working. Please be sure to check before arranging visits to temples, etc. We have listed here the first day only. For example, for the year 1999, the festivities run from 10th until 18th September inclusive. The 'festival year' is often considered to begin with Ganesh Chaturthi and conclude with Janmashtami.
Celebrations often run over five days, two on either side of the date shown.
Now held annually in London. For more information on this and other festivals which groups may visit, please contact us at head office or get in touch with your local centre.
