This Year, the Vinayaka Chavithi festival falls on 31 August 2022 – Wednesday

The Importance of Vinayaka Chavithi 2022:

According to Hindu scriptures, Lord Ganesha is Pratham Pujya, the deity who is worshiped first before any other God and who eliminates all barriers to existence. Vighnaharta is another name for Lord Ganesha. On this auspicious day, a great number of devotees fast and pray to honor and please Lord Ganesha. The Vinayaka Chavithi fast (vrat) is followed to remove any malevolent influences from one’s life, and adherents live a happy and successful life by worshiping Lord Ganesha on this day. People who are suffering difficulties in their lives are expected to observe this fast (vrat) and give modak, Laddu, clothing, and other delicacies to Lord Ganesha.

Pooja vidhi for Vinayaka Chavithi 2022:

• Before doing pooja, worshippers must say Lord Ganesha Mantra ‘Om Shree Ganeshaye Namah’ and recite Vinayaka (Bindayak) Katha and Lord Ganesha Aarti.

What are the Vinayaka Chavithi rituals?

Though the celebration is the same and has similar sentiments throughout India, customs and traditions vary somewhat by location. At various locations, the festivities run between 7 and 10 days. Among the most popular observances are:

Ganapati statue installation:

• A statue of the Elephant God is put on a pedestal at home or in a public area with a prana prathishtha puja.
• People avoid glancing at the moon on the first night of the festival because it is said to be a bad omen.

Poojas:

Prayers include washing the statue, doing puja with shloka chanting and presenting flowers and sweets, and circumambulating the idol with a plate containing a lighted earthern/metal lamp, kumkum, and flowers. Every day, prayer gatherings are held at Ganapati temples and public installations in the evenings and, in some cases, in the mornings.

Special performances:

Some public Lord Ganesh displays may also include dancing, music, and comedy.

Prasadam:

Modak is Ganapati’s favorite sweet, thus making and eating it is a must. As a result, during the celebration, these dumplings are produced and given as prasad. During this period, other food items like as laddoo, barfi, pedha, and sundal are also given.

Visarjan:

This is the immersion of the idol in a body of water that takes place on the final day of the festival, which may be anytime between the seventh and eleventh days. It is followed by a parade of people reciting bhajans, shlokas, and songs in front of the idol. People beg forgiveness for their previous errors and ask God to help them remain on the correct path. Ganesha is acknowledged for visiting the home/locality, eliminating barriers from people’s paths, and bestowing auspiciousness.
