THE DIARY GAME GANESH CHATHURTI SPECIAL DIARY....9-12 SEPTEMBER 2021

Hello steemians how are you. I hope you are doing well and you all are safe and healthy during this pandemic time.

In this diary post, I am sharing my 3 days of Ganpati pooja. Ganesh Chaturthi is also known as Vinayak Chaturthi is a 10 days festival to celebrate Lord Ganesh's birthday. During these 10 days, everyone celebrates Ganesha's birthday with joy, music, dance, and food.

I and my father first went to the market to buy lord Ganesh's statue. I was very excited that time that we are celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi for the first time in our home. After searching for around an hour we finally brought a Ganesh statue made of clay and mud that is eco-friendly in nature. In the current situation for our environment, eco-friendly statues are best and we all should prefer those statues only. Then after we why some new stuff like earthen pot Diya and piggy banks.

Then after we reach our home and make lord Ganesh sit on his chowki. Then we finally decide and submit a report that how we have to celebrate the festival and what are the rituals that we have to follow.

On 10th September 2021 at 8:00 a.m., we start our rituals after complete decoration. It's a very long Puja and a very traditional Puja.

First, we set up all the important samagri on the table like modak laddu Diya ilayachi e earthen pot nariyal, etc. And lord Ganesh statue.

Finally, we take off the cloth from Ganesha's face, Tilak him, and serve blog to him having modak laddu. Lord Ganesh is a guest in our house and we have to treat him like a guest. Everything we eat Ganesha will also eat. So everything is free of onion and garlic for these 3 days.

We provide Ganesha at the three-time meal with two-time tea. We also pray to Ganesha by singing aarti to time and bhajan in the evening. We serve a good meal every 3 hours.

On 11th September also follow up the same rituals starting from morning till night Sing songs play bhajan providing Ganesh 3 time meal and Modak. It's really good to see Ganesha in our house. I and my family can sense him from our hearts and mind. We also so light up Diya for 3 days continuously Without letting it extinguish.

Finally, on the third day, it's time for Ganesha to go back to his home as we take a pledge to let Ganesha stay in our home for 3 days. So from the morning, we start collecting the items like flowers sweets fruits, and some return gifts for the people who will arrive in our home today to pray to Lord Ganesh.

My mother cooks delicious food like gobi aloo, raita, Matar paneer, sitafal, kheer, poori, Paulo. In the afternoon first, we serve lord Ganesha the food, and then it's time for the family to have food and the members joining us today from our locality.

Then after we dance a lot to enjoy the day and finally in the evening start preparing for the visarjan around 4 pm.

First, we sang Om Jai Jagdish and Jai Ganesh aarti. Serve laddu and modak to Lord Ganesh. Also a meetha paan in his mouth. Then it's time to play with gulal with him.

So every member in the house uses gulal and applies it on Ganesha. Then after I make lord Ganesh statue from the table and move in every corner of my house with his statue.

Then came out of my house by showing them my house main door. Many local people also come to see Ganesh visarjan and then finally I complete lord Ganesh visarjan around 5 p.m. by dipping into a tub of water.

Finally, the day ends with happiness and joy. I only want to say that again Baras tu jaldi aa Ganpati. Hope you like my diary. Drop your valuable comment.
