What is Ganesh Puja?
Ganesh Puja is the worship of Lord Ganesha, honoured across Hindu traditions as Vighnaharta, the remover of obstacles, and Pratham Pujya, the one worshipped first. In almost every Vedic and Puranic ritual, a short Ganesh Pujan is performed at the very start, so that the ceremony that follows proceeds without hindrance.
As a standalone puja, it is commonly performed on Chaturthi tithis, on Wednesdays, during Ganesh Chaturthi in Bhadrapada, and before new ventures such as moving house, opening a shop, starting studies or setting out on a journey. The vidhi usually includes avahan (invocation), shodashopachara (sixteen offerings), recitation of the Ganapati Atharvashirsha and names of Ganesha, and aarti.
Offerings such as durva grass, red flowers, modak and laddoo are closely associated with Ganesha. Customs vary between families and regions, and the Pandit will follow your family's practice wherever you share it.
North Indian families bring Ganesha into almost every occasion: Ganesh Pujan opens every wedding, griha pravesh and new shop, Ganesh and Lakshmi are worshipped together on Diwali night, and mothers keep the Sakat Chauth vrat for their children's wellbeing. Ganpati sthapana during Ganesh Chaturthi has also become popular in Hindi speaking homes. In Hyderabad and Bangalore, where Vinayaka Chavithi is celebrated on a grand scale, we arrange Hindi speaking Pandits for the North Indian vidhi as well as Telugu and Kannada Purohits for Vinayaka Chavithi pooja at home.
Significance
In the Puranic tradition, Ganesha is the son of Shiva and Parvati and the lord of the ganas. He is associated with buddhi (intellect), siddhi (accomplishment) and auspicious beginnings, which is why his name is invoked before writing, business, study and holy ceremonies alike.
The Ganapati Atharvashirsha, a Sanskrit hymn from the Atharvaveda tradition, describes Ganesha as the embodiment of the supreme reality. Devotees associate his worship with clarity of mind, patience and a steady start to whatever they are about to undertake.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Ganesh Puja FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
Can a Pandit do Ganpati sthapana at home for Ganesh Chaturthi?
Yes. The Pandit performs the pran pratishtha of your Ganesha idol at the chosen muhurat on Chaturthi, with shodashopachara puja and aarti, and guides you on the daily puja until visarjan. Book early, as Ganesh Chaturthi morning is one of the busiest times of the year.
After how many days is Ganesh visarjan done?
Families keep Ganesha for one and a half, three, five, seven or ten days, ending on Anant Chaturdashi, depending on family custom. The Pandit performs the uttar puja before visarjan. With a clay idol, many families now do the visarjan at home in a bucket or tub of water.
Do you arrange Sankashti Chaturthi and Sakat Chauth puja?
Yes. Sankashti Chaturthi falls every month on the fourth day after Purnima, and Sakat Chauth in Magh is kept by many North Indian mothers for their children. The Pandit can perform the puja and katha at home in the evening, before the moonrise when the vrat is opened.
Can you arrange a North Indian Pandit for Ganesh Puja in Delhi NCR, Hyderabad or Pune?
Yes. We arrange Hindi speaking Pandits who follow the North Indian vidhi for Ganesh Pujan, Ganpati sthapana and Ganesh Lakshmi puja on Diwali, or a Telugu or Kannada Purohit for Vinayaka Chavithi pooja.
How much does a Ganesh Puja cost?
It depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits, samagri and the location. Share your details on WhatsApp and we will get you a clear quote.
Can Ganesh Puja be done at home?
Yes. Ganesh Puja is very commonly performed at home on a clean chowki. A small idol or picture, a kalash and simple offerings are enough to begin.
Why is durva grass offered to Ganesha?
Durva is traditionally considered dear to Ganesha, and Puranic stories connect it with soothing him. Many families offer 21 blades, though customs vary.
Can I book the puja online if I live abroad?
Yes. The Pandit performs the sankalp in your name and you join by video call. We schedule around your timezone.
Is Ganesh Puja only done during Ganesh Chaturthi?
No. It can be performed on any auspicious day, especially Chaturthi tithis and Wednesdays, and before any new beginning.
