What date did ganesh chaturthi fall on 1986?
Ganesh Chaturthi falls on the fourth day after the dark moon in Bhadrapada, which is a month in August/September. You can calculate this with help of the moon phase calendar – such calendars can be found on the Internet free of charge. The month Bhadrapada starts on August 23 and ends on September 23, so Ganesh Chaturthi takes place within this time. When you look at the moon phase calendar, you will get Amavasya (Dark Moon) on September 3rd and four days after September 3rd is September 7. There are also local calendar discrepancies which may influence the final date, but in 1986 it must have been in September and very close to September 7th. http://www.freebsd.nfo.
