Theur in September
Maharashtra, India
September makes Theur a Ganesh Chaturthi anchor. The festival (Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi) falls Saturday 12 September 2026 — the 10-day festival running through Anant Chaturdashi Tuesday 22 September 2026. The 25km Pune proximity makes Theur the heaviest-visited Ashtavinayak during festival window — committed yatris combine Theur into the standard Pune Ganesh Chaturthi public visarjan pilgrimage. Chintamani receives continuous palki processions; special pre-dawn maha-abhishek every morning; full puran-poli and ukadiche-modak prasad distribution. The Madhavrao Peshwa samadhi sees Peshwa-lineage Marathi pilgrim density at year-peak. Daytime 22-30C with monsoon tail rains tapering through first week. The 25km Pune drive takes 2-2.5 hours through festival traffic; private operators run 3-day Ashtavinayak packages with Theur Day 1. Lodgings book 90 days ahead at ₹2,000-4,000 festival rates. The Bhima-Mula-Mutha sangam runs at clean late-monsoon flow with ghat approach restored mid-month.
