In 2009, the date of Ganesh Jayanti is January 30.
An image of Ganesha is made from Turmeric powder of Sindhoor powder and it is worshipped. The idol is immersed in water on the fourth day. Food prepared from Til (sesame) is consumed on the day.
The Ganesh Jayanti festival is observed as the birthday of Lord Ganesh in many parts of Maharashtra . Special prayers are held at all Ganesha Temples.

Ganesh Jayanti should not be confused with the famous Vinayaka Chaturthi festival held in August/September.
