The date for the festival is usually decided by the presence of Chaturthi Thithi. The festival is held during "Bhadrapada Madyahanaa Purvabaddha". If the Chaturthi Thiti begins at night on the previous day and gets over by morning on next day, then the next day is observed as Vinayaka Chaturthi. In the consecration ceremony, a priest performs a Prana Pratishtha to invite Ganesh like a guest. This is followed by the 16-step Shodashopachara ritual (Sanskrit: Shodash, 16; Upachara, process) during which coconut, jaggery, modaks, durva grass and red hibiscus (Jaswand) flowers are offered to the idol. Depending on the region and time zone, the ceremony commences with hymns from the Rigveda, the Ganapati Atharvashirsa, the Upanishads and the Ganesh stotra (prayer) from the Narada Purana are chanted.
Guide Celebration:
A guided celebration refers to an organized and directed event or festivity that follows a predetermined plan, structure, or set of instructions. Unlike spontaneous or informal celebrations, a guided celebration is orchestrated with a specific purpose or agenda in mind. It may involve a designated leader or host who directs the flow of the event, ensuring that participants engage in specific activities, rituals, or ceremonies according to a predefined schedule or program.
