85 Ganesh Chaturthi Wishes 2026: Messages for Family, Friends & Colleagues + Mantras

Ganesh Chaturthi is as much about the words we share as the puja we perform. A well-timed message — sent to family, dropped in a friend's chat, or added to a festive card — carries the spirit of the festival to people you can't always be with in person.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 falls on Monday, 14th September, with Ganesh Visarjan on Friday, 25th September. To help you find exactly the right words, here are 100 Ganesh Chaturthi wishes — sorted by who you're sending them to — along with the mantras traditionally chanted through the festival.

Ganesh Chaturthi Mantras

These are among the most widely chanted mantras during Ganesh Chaturthi, recited during aarti or before beginning any pooja or new task.

1. Ganesha Mool Mantra

"Om Gam Ganapataye Namah"

The simplest and most widely chanted mantra of the festival, invoking Ganesha's blessings for success and the removal of obstacles. Often repeated 108 times with a mala during aarti.

2. Ganesha Gayatri Mantra

"Om Ekadantaya Vidmahe Vakratundaya Dheemahi Tanno Danti Prachodayat"

A longer invocation seeking wisdom, clarity, and guidance from Ganesha — traditionally chanted at the start of the day during the festival.

3. Vakratunda Mahakaya Shloka

"Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha, Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Karyeshu Sarvada"

Roughly translated: "O Lord with the curved trunk and mighty form, whose brilliance equals a million suns, please make all my endeavours free of obstacles, always." This is chanted before starting any new task or ceremony.

4. Sankashtnashan Ganesh Stotra (Opening Line)

"Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah"

Often recited before beginning any pooja, this line calls on Ganesha to clear the path ahead and remove distress (Sankashta).

5. Ganpati Bappa Morya

"Ganpati Bappa Morya, Mangal Murti Morya"

Less a formal mantra and more a chant of devotion, this is called out during aarti and, most famously, during Visarjan processions as the idol is carried for immersion
