GANESH CHATURTHI RITUAL:


On this day, devotees bring Ganpati idols home for a day, two or some even for ten days, depending upon their own wish. Huge Ganpati pandals are also set up and decorated for ten days, where people can come and seek blessings.

Prayers, bhajans keep the devotees busy all through. Special prasad such as delicious Modaks are prepared and offered to the Lord. After the Ganpati Puja is performed, Bappa’s idol is immersed into the water for visarjan, bidding a tearful adieu but with a promise that he will return next year.

However, this year too strict COVID-19 protocols will be in place and social distancing followed.

GANESH CHATURTHI LEGEND:


It is believed that Lord Ganesha was born during the Madhyana period (noon) and hence, the recommended Puja timing is in the afternoon.

The legend has it that on the tenth day after the Ganpati is immersed, the lord heads back to Mount Kailasha to his parents—Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati.

Ganpati Bappa Morya!
