On Saturday morning, there was significant rainfall in Thane and Mumbai. While some employees may have difficulties, others may sigh with relief since most offices will be closed for the weekend.
For Thane and Palghar on Saturday, September 17, the India Meteorological Department has issued a ‘orange’ signal (heavy to very heavy rain). Mumbai has been placed on ‘yellow’ alert till September 18, which means there will be isolated areas of severe rain.
Thane and Palghar have been put under ‘yellow’ alert as of Sunday, September 18. The warnings will be updated, according to the IMD, if necessary.
Since the end of July, the intensity of the rains has decreased, and the megalopolis has only had drizzling rain. While some may find solace in the rain, others may be hoping for bright skies as the majority of Maharashtrians prepare to welcome Lord Ganesha to their homes on Monday.
Bringing Lord Ganesha’s statue home and then drowning it in a body of water at the conclusion of the 10-day celebration are two of the event’s main attractions.
People participate in the Visarjan (immersion) for one and a half days, three, five, seven, or eleven days as well, depending on the family traditions observed.
WHAT TIME IS THE LORD GANESHA ICON BRINGED HOME?
The most fortunate moment for Ganpati to return home is regarded to be Abhijit Muhurta. It occurs this year on September 18, the day before celebrations get underway.
On Tuesday, September 19, during Ravi Yog, Lord Ganesha is welcomed into homes with a puja. This year, it is in the late afternoon.
Abhijit Muhurta on September 18 is from 11:51 PM to 12:40 PM. On the other side, Ravi Yog will take place on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, from 12:08 AM to 6:08 AM. Along with the Abhijit Muhurat, you may also welcome Lord Ganpati to your home during the blessed Choghadiya Muhurat.
