Ganesha Puja

On Ganesh Chaturthi, people get up early in the morning, take bath and wear new cloths. Then they prepare samagris to worship Lord Ganesha with an idol of gold, silver, copper or clay. Mostly people worship him in the form of Shodashopchar method.

After worshiping, the Brahmins are offered Dakshina by offering the Moon with a low eye. In this puja, there is a law of offering 21 laddus to Lord Ganpati. According to belief, one should not look at the moon on these days.

During Ganesh Chaturthi, four divine traditional ceremonies are organised by avid followers of Hinduism to welcome Lord Ganesha to the earth; who is the second son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

The procedure of pervading the picture of Lord Ganesha into a murti or idol is the very first ritual to be performed on Ganesh Chaturthi which is stated as Pranapratishhtha. The second is Shhodashopachara observance that witnesses 16 ways to pay homage to Lord Ganesha. Uttarpuja is a conventional puja followed by shifting newly fabricated idol after its infusion. The last ritual Ganpati Visarjan is the immersion of the Ganesha murti (idol) in the nearby river, pond or sea.
