The date, and how it was decided
Ganesh Chaturthi 2027 falls on Saturday, 4 September 2027.
The day is Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. The tithi alone does not fix the date: a tithi rarely fills a civil day, so a festival names the period its tithi has to be running in. For Ganesh Chaturthi that period is madhyahna, the middle fifth of the daylight. This is the window the puja is kept in.
Madhyahna in your city
This is the window the puja is kept in. It is set by the Sun at your own horizon, so it is not the same time across the country — the spread below is about forty minutes end to end.

This is the whole of madhyahna, computed as the middle fifth of the daylight at that city's own sunrise and sunset. Almanacs often also print a narrower muhurat inside it, chosen for a fixed sign rising rather than for the tithi; if you have seen a shorter window elsewhere, that is what it was, and it sits inside this one.

How a tithi is computed · Why the day starts at sunrise
The tithi is computed from the Swiss Ephemeris on the Lahiri ayanamsha. The day is the one whose madhyahna the tithi covers most. The date is checked against the published almanacs before it is printed here.
