.. shrii gaNesha puujaa vidhi ..####
##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 fine 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).

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 fill 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.

 aaratii
## \small
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 fine tiri -end). Some kumukum and flowers 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 different), show it there, come back 
and offer arati to the bell. We also offer kumkum and 
flowers to the bell, prostrate and then offer 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 offer 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 offers akshata or flowers. 

After the visarjana puja, we offer a karpura arati in a 
similar fashion.##
