Ganesh sthapana during Ganesh chaturthi is a common occurrence throughout India as Ganesh Puja is one of the major festivals in India. Now in order to do the Ganesh Puja properly, you would need a clay idol of Lord Ganesh, blades of Dhruva grass, coconut, red flowers, Chandan, Modak, Ladoos and agarbattis. First of all, you need to clean your house and then after taking a bath, mount the clay Ganesh idol on a platform. After that you need to recite several mantras dedicated to Ganesh. Then you need to do the Pran-Pratistha in which the Pran of God Ganesha is convened in the idol itself. After Pran-Pratistha, perform the Arati and light the diyas. After that, offer 21 blades of dhruva grass, 21 modaks and red flowers. Apply a chandan tilak on Ganpati’s forehead and break the coconut. Whatever you do, do it with a clean body and clean mind. Main thing is devotion and not rituals. Isn’t it? What do you people say?
