Ganesh Chaturthi 2023: Traditions to Follow
Set a time
Before bringing Lord Ganesha to your home during Ganesh Chaturthi, make sure you know the correct muhurat or the auspicious time. There is always an auspicious time to bring the idol to your house and one should know it. This will ensure that you have started the puja in the right way.
Decorate the Space
You should deep clean your house before inviting Lord Ganesha. The idol should be brought in a clean and well-decorated space.
Set up the altar and the space where you want to place your Lord Ganesha idol. You can decorate the puja room with flowers, candles, and rangolis.
Invite the Idol
You must invite the idol of Lord Ganesha to your house on Ganesh Chaturthi. Place the idol and then conduct prayers. Chant some invitation mantras and welcome Lord Ganesha. He will bless you with all that you want.
Take Note of the Placement
Make sure to place the Lord Ganesha idol facing the east or north because both are considered auspicious. After placing the idol correctly, offer flowers, prayers, sweets, and light diyas. Keep the space lighted and the environment should be positive.
