Preparing Your Home for Ganesh Chaturthi Puja: A Simple Guide
If you’re planning to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at home, here’s a simple guide to help you prepare:
- Clean Your House
Start by thoroughly cleaning your home. This will create a pure and welcoming environment for Lord Ganesha’s idol. - Choose the Right Spot
Place the Lord Ganesha idol in the northeast corner of your home, known as the Ishaan corner. This placement is considered auspicious and is believed to bring positivity and prosperity. Make sure to purify the area with Ganga water before setting up the idol. - Set the Idol
The idol should be placed on an elevated surface, such as a wooden chowki or a clean table. It should be covered with a yellow cloth, which is considered sacred. - Decorate the Area
Enhance the festive atmosphere by decorating the space around the idol. Use elements such as Swastik or Om stickers on the walls, Rangoli at the entrance, floral arrangements, and Toran (festive garlands). These decorations create a vibrant and divine ambiance.
