 Anant Chaturdashi Significance

The Anant Chaturdashi, the final day of immersion of Lord Ganesha idols, hold deep religious significance in Hindu tradition. This auspicious day is marked by processions of Lord Ganesha with music, dancing, and chants of ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya’ meaning ‘O Lord Ganesha, come again soon next year’. During the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, streets come alive with colourful decorations and enthusiasm as people of all ages participate in Ganpati Bappa’s farewell.

Ganesh Visarjan Puja Vidhi Dos and Don'ts

During Ganesh Visarjan, devotees should follow a respectful and proper puja vidhi to honour Lord Ganesha. Before immersion, perform a thorough and heartfelt puja including offering flowers, durva grass, sweets such as modaks, and lighting incense and lamps. Recite Ganesh mantras and aarti with devotion, seeking forgiveness for any mistakes during the festival and praying for the Lord’s return next year. It is important to immerse the idol with dignity—if possible, in clean, natural water bodies like rivers or lakes; at home, using a clean tub or bucket filled with water is acceptable.

Avoid disrespectful behaviour like throwing the idol harshly or immersing it in polluted water. Items like flowers, rice, and sacred ash used in the pooja should be handled with reverence and disposed of properly, often by offering to plants or natural places. Lastly, don’t forget to sprinkle the leftover sacred water around the home or plants for blessings. This mindful approach ensures spiritual merit and maintains ecological balance during the Visarjan ceremony.

Dos:

  1. Perform full puja with flowers, sweets, and mantras.

  2. Offer durva grass and light diyas/incense.

  3. Immerse idol respectfully in clean water.

  4. Ask for forgiveness and bless family and friends.

  5. Use leftover sacred water to water plants.

Don'ts:

  1. Do not throw or disrespect the idol.

  2. Avoid immersion in polluted or dirty water bodies.

  3. Do not discard puja materials carelessly.

  4. Avoid rushing the ritual; perform it with devotion and calmness.

This combination of devotion and respect in the Visarjan rituals helps deepen the spiritual experience and safeguards traditions and the environment.
