Ganesha or Ganapati is an extremely popular God in India. He is called Vighneshvara or Vighnaharta, the Lord of and destroyer of obstacles. People mostly worship Him asking for siddhi, success in undertakings, and buddhi, intelligence. He is worshipped before any venture is started. He is also the God of education, knowledge and wisdom, literature, and the ne arts. This puuja is commonly performed on Ganesh Chaturthi day ie. 4th day of bright half of moon in bhaadrapada month. Puja is done where possible at 1200hrs and morning 0600hrs or earlier. Night puja is visarjana puja where lord is kept for one day ( unless you keep the vigraha / idol for more than one day). Check List 1. Altar, Deity (statue/photo), Ganesha Idol 2. Two big brass lamps (with wicks, oil/ghee) 3. Matchbox, Agarbatti 4. Karpoor, Gandha Powder, Kumkum, gopichandan, haldi 5. Sri Mudra (for Sandhyaavandan), Vessel for Tirtha, Yajnopaviita 6. Puujaa Conch, Bell, One aaratii (for Karpoor), Two Aaratiis with wicks 7. Flowers, Akshata (in a container), tulsi leaves 8. Decorated Copper or Silver Kalasha, Two pieces of cloth (new), 9. Coconut, 1/2 kg. Rice, Bananas 6, gold coin, gold chain 10. Extra Kalasha, 3 trays, 3 vessels for Abhisheka 11. Beetlenuts 6, Beetlenut Leaves 12, Banana Leaves 2, Mango Leaves 5-25 12. Dry Fruits, 5 bananas, 1 coconut - all for naivedya 13. Panchaamrita - Milk, Curd, Honey, Ghee, Sugar and Tender Coconut Water 14. Sri Ganesha ashTottara Book, Puja Book 15. Red owers and red ower malas. 14. Modaka, Also fruits and prasad as far as possible 21 varieties. Previous Night, think of the Lord Ganesha and mentally decide to perform puujaa the next day. This is the sankalpa. Next day early morning keep the same thoughts of worshipping the Lord and take a head-bath (if possible an oil-bath). Have some soothing Indian Music (Shehnai or sa.ntuur or sitaar or naadasvaram - preferably any instrumental) going on in the background till the puujaa begins. The music should be pleasing (not too loud) for creating a serene mood. (Of course people should be internally peaceful also!) Wash Kalasha and ll it with clean water upto 3/4 of it. Cover and place it near the altar. Observe Fast (if possible). Decorate the front door, altar and the place near the altar. Invite your relatives, friends (who have bhakti in the Lord). Keep all the things for puujaa ready, near the altar. Duration - start to aaratii - 2 hours

Normally, the arati is done just after we chant the slokas for mahaa niraajana and karpura deepa. All the devotees sing the arati bhajan, while one by one each person comes and gives arati. The arati plate normally has 5 small diyas (with cotton balls dipped in oil and with a ne tiri -end). Some kumukum and owers should also be kept in the plate. The arati is done at the puja altar, accompanied by the ghanta (bell) and once everyone completes the arati, we take it to the regular altar

(assuming these are dierent), show it there, come back and oer arati to the bell. We also oer kumkum and owers to the bell, prostrate and then oer the arati to the devotees. Here, all pujas are attended by minimum 40 to max 100+. So we have one or 2 aratis depending on the size of the crowd. Since this takes a lot of time, while the devotees oer the arati, the people who are doing the puja complete all other slokas upto the mantra pushpam. Once the arati is over we chant the mantra pushpam after which everybody oers akshata or owers. After the visarjana puja, we oer a karpura arati in a similar fashion.
