SaralnamaGanesh Chaturthi 2025 will be celebrated on Wednesday, 27 August. Devotees bring home eco-friendly Ganpati idols during the shubh muhurat, usually between 11 AM and 1 PM. Clean your home and puja area before installing the idol, which should face north, east, or northeast. Offer modaks, fruits, durva grass, and red flowers daily with devotion. Chant Ganesh mantras and perform morning and evening aartis. Follow a vegetarian diet and maintain cleanliness during the festival days. Avoid placing the idol in bedrooms or kitchens, do not break coconuts inside the home, and avoid non-vegetarian food and alcohol. Use eco-friendly decorations and never leave the idol unattended. Ganesh Visarjan will be done respectfully in ponds or artificial tanks to protect the environment. These dos and don’ts help bring blessings of wisdom, happiness, and prosperity.
