Lord Ganesh

It is our tradition to
worship Lord Ganesh before starting any
work, to complete the work successfully.

Lord Ganesh fondly

called as Pillayarapa and Ganapathi
Bappa, is the elder son of Lord Shiva and
Lordess Parvathi. He is the brother of
Lord Muruga. He is Vigneshwara, who
removes all obstacles.

People offer him

“Modhagam”, “Aval”, “Pori” etc. His
birthday is celebrated as “Ganesh
Chathurthi”. It is a custom to immerse His
idol (made of sand) into river/sea after
this festival, it indicates that our
problems/sorrows will be removed if we
have true Bhakthi.

Worshiping Him is very

easy, Mix some turmeric powder or sandal
powder with water and form a triangular
structure such that its base lies on
ground. Apply kumkum on the upper tip
portion. So simple, isn’t it. Offer flowers.
Offer Prasadham, even chocolates will do.
Sing songs and offer Aarathi.

Pray with true devotion.

He will remove all your worries and give
you success. Your life will be filled with
joy and peace with His grace.
