Ganesh Nimajjanam

Ganesh Nimajjanam falls on Wednesday, 23 September 2026 across Visakhapatnam district and the rest of Andhra Pradesh.

23 Sept

Ganesh Nimajjanam in Andhra Pradesh

Called Vinayaka Chavithi. Clay idols, the 21-leaf puja and undrallu are central. Community mandapams run for days, the Khairatabad idol in Hyderabad being the largest and drawing the biggest immersion procession.

The regional form observed across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.

Immersion on the coast

Visakhapatnam's immersions run to the sea at the RK Beach stretch rather than to a tank, and the district administration posts lifeguards and marks the permitted entry points for the main Nimajjanam days.
