A Sacred Celebration at Suryakaladi

May the blessings of Lord Shree Mahaganapathi, together with Shree Mahalakshmi at Suryakaladi, bring prosperity and the complete fulfilment of all worthy desires during this Vinayaka Chaturthi.

Suryakaladi Mana is a sacred centre of Tantra Vidya and Mantra Sadhana, where traditional rituals for dispelling adversity and spreading goodness have long been observed with due majesty. The 2026 celebration marks an exceptionally rare occasion: for the first time, an uninterrupted Ahoratra Mahaganapathi Homam will be conducted.

Ahoratra Mahaganapathi Homam

An uninterrupted 24-hour observance dedicated to Lord Shree Mahaganapathi.

Chaturthi Tithi: September 14 at 7:00 AM to September 15 at 7:40 AM

In the Malayalam tradition, Vinayaka Chaturthi is observed on September 15 because Chaturthi is present at sunrise. The conjunction of Atham and Thruthiya also requires observance on September 14. Considering these Poorvapakshas and the time required for Japa, Homa and Tharpana, a continuous Ahoratra schedule has been adopted.

From 7:00 AM on September 14 until 8:00 AM on September 15, Upasakas and devotees may have darshan, offer prayers and perform Upasana to Lord Shree Mahaganapathi.
