Ganesh puja ritual

According to Hindu tradition, before bringing Lord Ganesha home, clean the place of worship properly and decorate it with flowers, rangoli, and other ornaments. Place the idol on an altar at the auspicious time, spreading a red or yellow cloth beneath it. Before the puja, take a vow of fasting or prayer by holding water, flowers, and rice in your hands. Invoke Lord Ganesha by chanting the mantra, “Om Gan Ganpataye Namah.” Bathe the idol with Panchamrit, then dress it in fresh clothes and jewellery. Offer his favourite sweets, Modaks and Laddus, along with Durva grass, red flowers, and vermillion. In the end, perform the aarti with the whole family. The rituals may differ by beliefs and tradition, but the purpose to celebrate the idol to the fullest is the same.
