Read the Ganesh Chaturthi puja vidhi, vrat rules and kathaGanesh Chaturthi — Frequently Asked Questions
Why should the moon not be seen on Ganesh Chaturthi?
The moon mocked Ganesha and was cursed that whoever looked at it on this tithi would face a false accusation. Krishna himself was said to suffer it in the Syamantaka jewel episode; reciting that story is the prescribed remedy.
How many days should the idol be kept?
One and a half, three, five, seven or ten days — all are valid. What matters is that aarti is performed each day and the visarjan is done as promised at installation.
What is offered to Ganesha?
Durva grass in twenty-one blades, red flowers, and modak. Modak is his particular offering and is not substituted.
