Lord Ganesha, also known as Vighnaharta (the remover of obstacles), is one of the most worshipped deities in Hinduism. Ganesh Puja is performed before starting any auspicious work — whether it’s a marriage, business venture, housewarming, or festival. Worshipping Lord Ganesha ensures wisdom, prosperity, and protection from negativity.
Ganesh Puja isn’t just a tradition; it’s a spiritual practice that opens the path to success and inner peace.
Lord Ganesha represents intelligence, clarity, and new beginnings. In Vedic astrology, he governs the Muladhara (Root) Chakra, which symbolizes stability and grounding. Performing Ganesh Puja before any important event removes unseen obstacles and ensures smooth progress.
It is said that even the gods invoke Ganesha’s blessings before beginning any divine task. His elephant head signifies wisdom, and his large ears teach us to listen more and react less.
Best Day: Ganesh Chaturthi or any Tuesday/Chaturthi Tithi.
Auspicious Time: Early morning (Brahma Muhurta) or during an auspicious Muhurta determined by an astrologer.
Ideal Place: Home temple, office, or any clean spiritual space.
Performing the puja during Ganesh Chaturthi brings special blessings and prosperity throughout the year.
🪷 1. Purify the Space
Clean the puja area, light incense sticks, and create a peaceful atmosphere. Place a clean cloth on the altar with an idol or picture of Lord Ganesha.
🌸 2. Sankalp (Resolution)
Take a small amount of water in your hand and make a vow (sankalp) stating your intention — for example, “I am performing Ganesh Puja to seek success, peace, and the removal of obstacles.”
🪔 3. Invocation (Avahan)
Chant the mantra:
🕉️ “Om Gan Ganapataye Namah”
This invites Lord Ganesha into your heart and space.
🌿 4. Offerings (Upachara)
Offer flowers, durva grass, coconut, fruits, and sweets (especially Modak). Light a lamp and perform aarti with devotion.
🧘♂️ 5. Mantra Chanting
Chanting Ganesha mantras strengthens spiritual vibrations:
Om Vakratundaya Hum — removes obstacles.
Om Ekadantaya Namah — brings wisdom.
Om Sumukhaya Namah — ensures peace and happiness.
🕉️ 6. Prasad Distribution
After completion, share the prasad (Modak or sweets) with family and guests, symbolizing joy and unity.
From an astrology perspective, Lord Ganesha is connected to the planet Ketu, which represents wisdom, spirituality, and detachment. Performing Ganesh Puja pacifies Ketu’s malefic effects and helps the mind focus on the right path.
It also strengthens the root chakra, ensuring stability in personal and professional life. Astrologers often recommend Ganesh Puja before starting new ventures or important rituals like Griha Pravesh (housewarming) or Vivah Muhurat (marriage).
