Ganesha Chaturthi festival is coming. In this post, I am giving you
some information on the points to be kept in mind while choosing Ganesha
Idol and how you could appropriately welcome Lord Ganesha in your home
to bless you.
It would be preferable to bring Lord Ganesha one day previous to the day of Ganesha Chaturthi. Before entering your home with the Murti/idol, ask a family member to bring a bowl of rice. Shower the rice (Kacha rice) on Him and then step inside the home with the slogan- Ganpati Bappa Moriya. You can welcome him by lighting a Deepak of pure ghee. The worship of lord should be done with Aggarbatti (incense sticks), Dhoop, Aarti Thali, One Supari and One Paan Leaf. Before installing Ganesha Idol keep a red colour cloth at the place where idol would be kept.
The following points should be kept in mind while choosing Ganesha Idol and while worshipping Him during the festival:
1. Make sure that the area where the idol is installed in cleaned everyday & rubbish does not collect there.
2. Aarti must be done daily and a lamp must be lit both in the morning and evening.
3. According to religious scriptures, Tulsa leaves must not be offered to Lord Ganesha.
4. The idol must be installed following Vaastu, in the ‘Ishan’(North East) triangle area of the room. It would be better if the idol is facing west because in that case you will be worshipping Him looking at East.
5. ‘Durva’ grass, Rose flowers and Modak should be offered to Lord Ganesha.
6. Avoid wearing slippers. Leather belts or keeping leather wallets near the installation area.
7. After installation try not to move the idol or change it’s direction.
8. Sitting near the installed idol and reading a religious text will give you good results.
9. Please note that selected idol should be a seated one, not standing. If a guest pays a visit, we offer him a seat and not keep him standing. During Ganesh Chaturthi, we invoke God Ganapati, that is invite Him. One should offer Him a seat and proper hospitality. Harboring the spiritual emotion that God Ganapati has actually come to visit us. Besides due to the entire weight of the idol resting on the feet, the idol may even break if it is kept in the standing position for ten consecutive days.
10. Idol should be placed on a heap/mount of rice and after immersing the Idol, the same rice to be mixed with the house stock of rice. This would shower the blessings of Lord Ganesha for the whole year on you.
11. The trunk of Lord Ganesha in the idol should be on left side (that means when you are looking it from front, it will be at your right side).
11. You can prepare the pooja thali with the following items:
Coconut
21 blades of Dhruva grass
21 Modak (Modak is the favourite food of Lord Ganesh)
Pack Of Agarbattis (Incence Sticks)
Betel Leaf & Supari (Betel nut)
Janehu (Cotton String worn by Hindus)
Cotton packet (Used for making cotton wicks)
Abir (Black powder used for applying tilak)
Gulal (Red powder used for applying tilak)
Stick of Sandalwood (Used in making sandalwood paste)
Packet Of Camphor
Pouch Of Dhoop (Natural extract from trees)
(If you are not able to have all the times, there is no need to worry because what is important is your emotions and devotion towards Lord Ganesha)
