How to do Ganesha pooja at home: Preparations

I am assuming that you are looking to perform the puja for the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi.

1. Begin by cleaning your home entirely. This is considered a welcome sign for the lord. If you have a temple at your home, you can decorate it with flowers and lights. 

2. I would advise you to bring home a clay idol of lord Ganesha. It is environment friendly and you can immerse (visarjit) the idol in a plant at your house.

3. Offer flowers, durva, modaks and karanji to the idol after placing him on top of a new saffron or an orange cloth.

• Place the idol on a raised platform such as a throne (singhasan). Chant the prayers and mantras before keeping the idol in your temple or on a throne. 

• Wash his feet with holy water and then make panchamrit to bathe the ideal. 

• Now, keep five flowers in front of Lord Ganesha’s feet. After doing so, bestow padya and samarpan at the ideal’s feet.

• At last, bathe the idol again with holy water and offer Lord Ganesha a new set of clothes.

• Now offer Ganesh ji with chandan, durva, sindoor, garland and naivedyam.

• You can do the Ganesh Chaturthi’s sixteen rituals pooja by calling a pandit at your residence.

• Chant the aarti “Jai Jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh, jai Ganesh deva”.
