Things Needed While You Get Ganesha Home

Agarbatti/ Dhoop

This is a traditional ritual that is followed by all. Lit some agarbatti and dhoop for good aroma around the house. This actually helps to calm your nerves and helps in concentration of prayers.

Aarthi Thali

Decorate this with diyas. Place the important things that are needed in the aarti to be performed. Flowers, camphor, agarrbatti, coconut and kumkum is a part of the aarti thali.

Bell

This has a great significance. During aarti a person in the house rings the bell all through out the puja. It is a sign that the god's are pleased with the bell sound.

Raw Rice

Ideally the idol is supposed to be got inside the house by keeping it on top of raw rice. The raw rice is spread on the tray which can hold the idol and it is later kept in the house temple.

Peeta

This is a stool that is used to keep the idol. It is decorated with flowers and the idol is kept in the centre.

Cloth To Cover The Idol

A neat white cloth is used to cover the face of Ganesha. The face is revealed after the puja is done.

Sandalwood cloth

A cloth that is dipped in sandalwood essence is used when they take the idol before immersion.

Fruits

Fruits are offered to Lord Ganesha during the puja time. By offering fruits we signify to God us to free us from sin that we have performed in our past lives.

Flowers

Flowers signify beauty, purity and softness. These are ideal for puja's at home. They signify that we pray to Lord about the making our minds pure.
