This time Anant Chaturdashi is falling on 19th September.
The story of Anant Chaturdashi is recited while bathing and worshiping Lord Vishnu on Anant Chaturdashi.
Anant Chaturdashi is celebrated for two important reasons. On this day, after the 10-day festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, Lord Ganesha is given a heartfelt farewell with Visarjan (Ganesh Visarjan) and Anant Chaturdashi Puja is also performed on the same day. Devotees worship Lord Vishnu on the occasion of Anant Chaturdashi. Anant Chaturdashi is celebrated in the month of Bhadrapada of Shukla Paksha. This year Anant Chaturdashi is falling on 19th September. After worshiping Lord Vishnu on this day, 14 knots “Anant Sutra” are tied in the hand.
The story of Anant Chaturdashi is recited while bathing and worshiping Lord Vishnu on Anant Chaturdashi. Anantha Sutra is made by adding 14 sacred knots to a cotton thread along with turmeric, kumkum and saffron. After making the sutras, the mantras of Achyutaya Namah, Anantaya Namah, Govindaya Namah of Lord Vishnu are also offered.
The ‘Anantha Sutra’, which is considered to be a prasad or blessing of Lord Vishnu, has to be removed at night and immersed in the holy river or lake the next day. If the person is unable to immerse it on the next day, then the person has to wear the Anantha Sutra for the next 14 days. If the Anantha Sutra is not immersed even after 14 days, one has to wear this Sutra for the whole year and wait for the occasion to come again.
The most important aspect of celebrating “Anant Chaturdashi” is the worship of Lord Vishnu with 14 knots. The 14-knotted thread is believed to symbolize the 14 incarnations of Lord Vishnu. The Anantha Sutra is then tied with the right hand as an offering to Lord Vishnu. It is believed that by tying this thread a person is saved from all kinds of evil forces and enemies and Lord Vishnu protects his devotees after tying the infinite thread in his hand.
