Durva Ganpati Chaturthi falls on the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi of Shravan month, scheduled for August 16, 2026. According to legend, a demon named Analasura caused havoc with fire from his eyes. Lord Ganesha swallowed the demon to protect the world, which caused a severe burning sensation in his stomach. While Indra and Shiva tried to cool him, only Maharishi Kashyap's remedy of 21 blades of Durva grass provided relief.
