ऐसी मान्यता है कि जब पाण्डव जुए में अपना सारा राज-पाट हारकर वन में कष्ट भोग रहे थे, तब भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने उन्हें अनंत चतुर्दशी का व्रत करने की सलाह दी थी. धर्मराज युधिष्ठिर ने अपने भाइयों तथा द्रौपदी के साथ पूरे विधि-विधान से यह व्रत किया तथा अनंत सूत्र धारण किया.

हिंदू धर्म की मान्‍यताओं के अनुसार, इस दिन महिलाएं अपने बाएं हाथ पर और पुरुष अपने दाएं हाथ पर अनंत बांधते हैं यह अनंत सूत्र दीर्घ आयु और अनंत जीवन का प्रतीक माना जाता है।
गणेश चतुर्थी के दिन स्‍थापित किए गए गणपति का विसर्जन अनंत चतुर्दशी के दिन किया जाता है ।
