Favourite Flowers Of Lord Ganesha
In Hinduism, every deity has His/Her favourite flower. Flowers have a very crucial role to play in the Hindu way of worship. It is said that if you worship the deity by offering His/Her favourite flower, all your wishes will be fulfilled.
Offering of flowers to a deity is more than just a ritual. In Hinduism, it is believed that there are some subtle frequencies of deities present in the atmosphere. These frequencies are attracted towards the colour of certain specific flowers. When these deities are offered their favourite flowers or leaves, these frequencies are then emitted back into the atmosphere. This helps in creating positive energy in the place. This positive energy drives a human being to fulfill his goals in life.
It is believed that Lord Ganesha is attracted towards the red coloured hibiscus flower. Similarly there are some other flowers and leaves too which emit the positive energy of the Lord Ganesha into the atmosphere leading to removal of all obstacles and fulfilling all desires of a person. Here are some favourite flowers and leaves of Lord Ganesha:
Red Hibiscus
