Ganesh Puja Method: To get the blessings of Lord Ganesha Vikat Sankashti Chaturthi The day is considered very auspicious, which falls on 5th April 2026 this year. Devotees observe fast on this special day for the end of their sorrows and arrival of happiness. According to the scriptures, Chaturthi worship is considered complete only when it is done with the correct method and complete material. The meaning of dire crisis is to overcome difficult obstacles, hence the preparation for this day should also be special. Puja done with the right ingredients not only gives peace to the mind, but also infuses positivity in the house. This festival teaches us that even a small offering made with devotion is acceptable to God.
The main material of worship and Bappa’s favorite offering.
In preparation for the worship of Lord Ganesha, first of all there should be a clean stool and a red or yellow cloth to be spread on it. Use Ganga water and Panchamrit to bathe the idol of Bappa. Among the main ingredients, Akshat (unbroken rice), Roli, Kalava and red sandalwood have special importance. There are 21 knots of ‘Durva’ which are most loved by Lord Ganesha, which must be included in the puja. Modak or gram flour laddus are considered best for offering, which are a symbol of happiness. Apart from this, camphor, incense sticks and desi ghee lamp enhance the beauty of the puja thali. Offering betel leaves, betel nut and cloves fulfills the vow of worship and brings sweetness in life.
Necessary items for donating lamp and offering Arghya to the moon
The fast of Sankashti Chaturthi remains incomplete without offering Arghya to the Moon, hence separate preparations have to be made for the evening puja. To provide water to the moon, keep a copper or brass urn filled with pure water. Mixing some raw milk, intact and white flowers in this water is considered very auspicious. While offering Arghya, keep a plate below so that water does not splash on the feet. Also, keep incense and ghee lamp ready for Moon Aarti. Meditating with a calm mind and chanting Ganesh mantras in the evening is also very good for your mental health. This ritual also teaches us to show respect towards nature and celestial bodies.
Worship method full of family peace and simplicity
As important as the material of worship is, the feeling of your mind is more important. It is very fruitful to start the puja on this auspicious day by taking blessings of your mother. All the family members should perform Aarti together so that unity is maintained in the house. If you have any confusion in your mind regarding your father’s property or any household work, then sitting and praying in front of Bappa gives right direction to your mind. Stay away from any kind of harsh speech or debate and remain absorbed only in devotion. This festival celebrated with simplicity and love helps in the proper functioning of your life. The real purpose of this festival is to share happiness with loved ones.
