What is Ganesh Pooja?
Ganesh Pooja is the worship of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles (Vighneshwara), done before any new beginning — moving into a home, opening a business, buying a vehicle, starting studies — and every year on Vinayaka Chavithi (Ganesh Chaturthi).
Ganesh Pooja in Machilipatnam
Telugu homes follow the Vinayaka Chavithi vratha kalpam: Ganesha is worshipped with 21 kinds of leaves (ekavimshati patri), undrallu and kudumulu are offered, and the family reads the Syamantakopakhyanam before taking akshinthalu.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
