Ganesh Chaturthi 2022: Significance And Rituals

On the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, devotees worship Lord Ganesh for a prosperous and good future. It is believed that Ganesh Chaturthi marks the rebirth of Ganesh and signifies ‘new beginnings’.

It is believed that Lord Ganesh was born during Madhyahna, in the middle of the day, making mid-day the most auspicious time for Ganesh Puja, also called Shodashopachara Ganapati Puja.

On this day, idols of Lord Ganesh are brought home for Ganesh Sthapana and people offer prayers, and bhog every day for 10 days. On Anant Chaturdashi, devotees immerse the idols of Lord Ganesh in water bodies.

Lord Ganesha is worshipped with all sixteen rituals along with chanting of Puranik Mantras during Ganesha Chaturthi Puja which is also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi Puja

Normally, only sixteen Upacharas are followed and it is known as Shodashopachara Puja. Some Hindus limit it to five steps of worship and it is known as Panchopachara.
