Before Bappa arrives, ensure your home is clean and decorated. Choose a suitable idol and a designated spot for the deity. Gather essential puja items
like modaks, flowers, and diyas. Remember, the preparations set the tone for a blessed celebration. Don't forget the vibrant decorations, echoing the festive spirit!

The arrival of the idol is a momentous occasion. Perform the aarti and offer prayers with devotion. Follow the established rituals and welcome Bappa with joy and enthusiasm. Invite friends and family to join in this auspicious beginning, filling your home with positive vibes and blessings.
Daily Puja Rituals
Establish a daily puja routine, including the morning aarti, offering of Prasad, and chanting of mantras. Maintain cleanliness in the puja area, and offer fresh flowers daily. Devotion, consistency, and a pure heart are key to connecting with Lord Ganesha during the festival days.
During the Celebration
Embrace the festive spirit with family and friends! Share Prasad, sing bhajans, and participate in community events. Be mindful of your surroundings and follow local guidelines to ensure a harmonious and safe celebration for everyone. Remember to respect traditions.
The Visarjan Ceremony
