Ganesh Chaturthi 2024: Rituals For Lord Ganesha Visarjan

On the sacred festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, Lord Ganpati was welcomed with grand celebrations at various locations across the country. The immersion of the idol will take place with great fanfare on Anant Chaturdashi, which falls on September 19. Those who have placed Lord Ganesha in their r homes, buildings, offices, or public pandals will carry him to the Ganga, Yamuna, or other nearby holy rivers for immersion on Anant Chaturdashi.

Devotees of the Lord enthusiastically take him for immersion, accompanied by music and the joyful throwing of abir-gulal, chanting “Ganpati Bappa Moriya, come again early next year.” Some people choose to install Lord Ganesha idols for 5, 7, or 9 days based on their convenience, but the majority keep the Lord for 10 days, which is considered ideal.

During the immersion of Lord Ganesha, you can perform certain remedies based on your concerns. If you find that you’ve been struggling to complete a task despite your best efforts, don’t worry. Simply string four coconuts into a garland and offer it to Ganesha and your task will be accomplished.

Here are some remedies associated with Lord Ganesha that are believed to bring success, fulfilment, and peace:

To Succeed in Exams:

If you’re struggling with exams or interviews, tie seven knots in a raw thread while chanting the “Jai Ganesh Kato Klesh” mantra. Keep this thread in your purse or pocket for success.

For Wish Fulfillment:

If a wish remains unfulfilled, anoint Lord Vighnaharta (another name for Lord Ganesha) with water before Ganesh Visarjan, offer him Modak, and express your wish. This practice is believed to help in fulfilling desires.

To Solve Problems:

If you’re dealing with a problem or domestic issue that you can’t share with anyone, feed green fodder to an elephant, meditate and pray while expressing your problem. This is believed to bring solutions.

For Financial Prosperity:

Facing financial difficulties? On Ganesh Visarjan day, after bathing and meditating, feed pure ghee and jaggery to a cow. This act is believed to alleviate money-related issues.

To Control Anger:

If you frequently lose your temper, offer red flowers to Lord Ganesha for seven days starting from Anant Chaturdashi. This practice is said to help reduce anger.

For Speech Defects in Children:

If a child stutters, make a garland of bananas and offer it to Lord Ganesha. This is believed to help improve speech and eliminate stuttering.

To Avoid Family Feuds:

If there are constant quarrels at home, install a symbolic idol of Lord Ganesha in your home temple on Anant Chaturdashi or a Wednesday and worship it daily to maintain peace.

Before Bidding Farewell:

Before saying farewell to Lord Ganesha from your home, place an idol or photo of him at the main entrance of your home or office. This is believed to ensure ongoing happiness and prosperity in the household.
