Windows are computed for this city — the tithi decides which are valid, so they shift with your location and are not the Indian times. Abhijit and Rahu Kaal belong to the day itself rather than to the festival.
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Ganesha on the fourth day of the waxing moon in Bhadrapada. Because Ganesha is held to have been born at midday, the date is fixed by which day’s *madhyahna* the tithi covers rather than by sunrise.
How it is observed
Clay images are installed at home and in public pandals for one to ten days, then carried in procession and immersed in water. Modak, Ganesha’s favoured sweet, is the offering.
