Greater Austin Community Ganesh Utsav 2026 at Austin Hindu Temple

Maharashtra Majha lists the Greater Austin Community Ganesh Utsav for Friday, September 25, 2026 starting at 6:00 p.m. at Austin Hindu Temple, 9801 Decker Lake Road. The free public program falls on Anant Chaturdashi, the visarjan day that closes Ganeshotsav, eleven days after Ganesh Chaturthi.

Last year’s debut framed the evening as a pan-Indian procession and cultural block with Maharashtra Majha’s dhol tasha, other regional drums, folk dance, and a closing Ganesh mahaaarti, plus food trucks on campus. Use that as the shape of the night, not a locked 2026 run-of-show. The 2026 page confirms only the date, 6:00 p.m. start, temple address, and free admission.

Decker Lake Road sits in far-east Austin near the Travis County Expo Center, so build driving time from central Austin or the north suburbs. The organizer has not posted an end time, parking plan, food details, or a 2026 stage schedule. Free admission and the 6:00 p.m. start are confirmed; everything beyond those basics should be checked again before the drive.

Our take: this is the easiest public Ganesh entry if you want procession energy without hunting temple-by-temple Instagram posts. Austin Marathi Mandal lists a separate paid Ganeshotsav the next afternoon with the venue still TBD, so confirm that one separately if you are shopping between them.

When: September 25, 2026 (from 6:00 p.m.)
Where: Austin Hindu Temple, 9801 Decker Lake Road, Austin, TX
