Ganesha worship
Ganesha worship involves honoring the Hindu deity known as the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, prosperity, and beginnings. Devotees typically offer prayers, flowers, sweets like modaks, and recite mantras to invoke his blessings. Worship often begins with a special ritual called Ganesh Puja, especially during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, where intricately crafted statues are immersed in water. The practice fosters spiritual focus, seeking his aid for successful undertakings and overcoming challenges, while also celebrating cultural traditions. Ganesha's worship bridges personal devotion and community participation, emphasizing auspiciousness and positive energy.
