Vinayaka chavithi date 18th

[AndhraPickles]

The differing views, as the almanac writers have stuck to their respective ‘Siddhanta’ (system followed in preparing the almanac) in fixing the festival date, has led to confusion among some sections of people.

According to one school of thought, the Drik Siddhanta, Vinayaka Chavithi falls on September 19, while Poorva Paddhati (old tradition), prefers September 18. The latter is followed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), Sringeri, and Jeeyars while the former is adopted by the Kanchi, and Mysore Datta Peethams.

Thanks for the info. We usually follow the date published by local temple. For e.g. we follow the Livermore temple's direction on when to do this.

But Sringeri peetam and TTD's are final decision makers in any doubtful subjects...I follow these two...
