The day on which Ganesh frequencies reached the earth for the first time, that is, the day on which Lord Ganesh was born, is called the fourth day (chaturthi) of the bright fortnight of Magh according to the Hindu lunar calendar. Since then, an association between Ganapati and chaturthi has been established.

Significance

	Since the frequencies of Ganapati and those of the earth on the date (tithi) of chaturthi match, they favor each other. This implies that on this date, more frequencies of Ganapati reach the earth.
	Chaturthi means turyavastha, a state beyond the state of waking (jagruti), dream (svapna) and deep sleep (sushupti), which is the target of a seeker.
