Vinayaka Chaturthi was observed with great festivity at Sringeri on September 2, 2019. Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam offered special Puja to Lord Mahaganapati at Guru Nivas at around 12 noon. After initially worshipping Lord Ratnagarbha Ganapati, Sri Mahasannidhanam performed Panchamrita Abhisheka to the Vigraha of Lord Mahaganapati. Chants of Ganapati Atharvasheersha and the Ganapati Suktam from the Rig Veda rented the air. The Puja ended with Sri Mahasannidhanam offering Mahamangalarati. Immediately afterwards, Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam performed a special Puja.
