AUSPICIOUS MUHURAT FOR STHAPANA  The selection
of an auspicious muhurat for Ganesh Puja holds a
lot of importance. In Vedic tradition, muhurat
carries significance, and performing rituals
during the right time can increase the spiritual
impact of the puja. The Vedas consider the
chaturthi tithi of shukla paksha in the
bhadrapada month as the most auspicious time for
Ganesh Sthapana.

They regard the installation of Lord Ganesha on
this day as a highly auspicious act believed to
bring prosperity and good fortune to the
household.  Initially, the ritual was performed
in the brahma muhurat, an hour and a half before
the sunrise, but nowadays, people prefer
performing it in any other auspicious time during
the day, as suggested by a pandit ji.  SAMAGRI
FOR GANESHA PUJA STHAPANA To perform Ganesh
Puja, one requires an idol made of clay or an
image of Lord Ganesh, which serves as the central
focus of the ritual. The place of worship must be
cleaned and purified with ganga jal, and
decorated with fresh flowers, particularly
marigold and jasmine, along with placements of
incense sticks (dhoop) and diyas to create a
positive atmosphere. To honor Lord Ganeshs sweet
tooth, modakas, his favorite sweet, are an
essential offering. Other necessary items include
a coconut, red kumkum (vermilion), and turmeric
powder for tilak, camphor for aarti, akshat
symbolizing abundance, betel leaves and nuts as a
sign of hospitality, and panchamrit made of milk,
curd, ghee, honey, and sugar for the abhishek of
the idol. These items collectively complete the
samagri of Ganesh puja.

PUJA AT HOME? On the day of sthapana, it is
customary to rise early, bathe, and wear clean
attire. Cleanse the household shrine and adorn
your home for bappas arrival. In the north-east
corner, place a wooden pedestal covered with a
red or yellow cloth. Begin with murti sthapana,
and ensure that Lord Ganesha faces east or north,
as it is the direction of devas. Sprinkle a few
drops of ganga jal or fresh water on the idol to
symbolize purification. Then, offer some akshat,
and light a lamp or diya. Offer fresh flowers and
garlands to Lord Ganesha as a symbol of devotion.
Place modakas or other sweets and fruits as bhog
in front of the deity to show gratitude and seek
blessings. Recite Ganesh mantras, like Om Gam
Ganapataye Namaha, to invite Lord Ganesha into
the house.

It is suggested to do the puja as per the
detailed vedic-vidhi for the most benefits. With
google and all other websites, it has become much
easier to book a verified pandit ji for Shri
Ganesh puja in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Rishikesh, or
any other Indian city.  CONCLUSION Once the
sthapana is done, all the family members can come
together to sing the aarti, and celebrate the
glory of Lord Ganesha with bhajans. These are
small gestures of inviting him into our lives.
Bhajans, or devotional songs, fill the house with
positive energy by expressing love and devotion
for Lord Ganesh and help devotees connect with
the deity on a profound level, and bring a sense
of peace and unity among the family members. May
his blessings fill every home with joy, success,
and prosperity, and may he remove obstacles from
everyones path. Ganpati Bappa Morya!
