Significance Of Ganesh Visarjan
In Hindu tradition, not only the arrival of Lord Ganesha but also his Visarjan (immersion) holds deep significance. It is believed that offering prayers with full devotion pleases Lord Ganesha, who then removes all major hurdles in life and grants happiness and prosperity. However, immersion should be performed at an auspicious time; otherwise, the benefits of the worship may not be fully attained.
Ganesh Visarjan Vidhi
Lord Ganesha should be worshipped with the Shodashopachara Vidhi (16-step ritual worship). This pleases Lord Ganesha and ensures well-being in the devotee’s life. Just as rituals and traditions are followed with devotion during the festival, immersion should also be carried out at an auspicious time to ensure auspicious results.
The 16 steps of worship ritual include:
- Dhyanam: meditation of Lord Shiva/Ganesha.
- Avahanam: invoking the deity.
- Padyam: offering water to wash the feet.
- Arghyam: offering water for head purification.
- Achamaniyam: offering water for sipping.
- Godugdha Snanam: bathing with cow’s milk.
- Dadhi Snanam: bathing with curd.
- Ghrita Snanam: bathing with ghee.
- Madhu Snanam: bathing with honey.
- Sharkara Snanam: bathing with sugar.
- Shuddhodaka Snanam: bathing with pure water.
- Vastram: offering sacred clothes.
- Yagyopavitam: offering the holy thread.
- Gandhah: applying sandal paste.
- Akshatah: offering rice grains (Akshata).
- Pushpani: offering flowers and garlands.
Auspicious Dates For Ganesh Visarjan
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations begin on Chaturthi Tithi and continue for 10 days, ending with Anant Chaturdashi, the day when Ganesh Visarjan is traditionally performed.
However, devotees who wish to perform the immersion earlier can also do so. Apart from Anant Chaturdashi, Visarjan can be done on Panchami Tithi or Ashtami Tithi as well. Performing immersion on these dates is not considered inauspicious.
