Anant Chaturdashi occurs on the 14th lunar day of Shukla Paksha in Bhadrapada.
The day is associated with worship of Lord Vishnu in his Ananta form.
Devotees may observe the Anant Vrat, traditionally associated with a sacred thread.
The word Ananta means "endless" or "infinite," representing the eternal nature of the divine.
Anant Chaturdashi is also famous as the major day for Ganesh Visarjan.
