Overview
Ganesh Puja for families in Luxa
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.
Luxa is a busy central area along the road that connects Godowlia and the old city with Sigra and the newer parts of Varanasi. The road is lined with shops, hospitals, schools and markets, while older family homes and guest houses fill the lanes on either side.
