Ganesh Chaturthi is a major Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Ganesha, Gajanana the elephant-headed god of wisdom, prosperity, and new beginnings. This festival lasts for 10 days, starting on the chaturthi tithi ( fourth day of the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapada) (August-September) and ends on Anant Chaturthi.
This festival begins with the consecration of Vighnaharta and ends with the immersion of the Lord. People immerse Lord Ganesha with the hope that he will come back to give us darshan next year.

Following are the tips of bringing Ganesh idol at home according to Vastu.
- Eco Friendly Ganpati is the demand of time.
- The market is flooded with many varieties of Murty or idols. Idols made of Clay, Cow Dung, Wood are also option.
- For home devotion, a Ganesha idol in Lalitasana (sitting posture) is perfect since it represents serenity and fosters a calm environment. An idol of Ganesha in a reclining position is an alternative that represents comfort, prosperity, and leisure.
- While buying the Ganpati Murti for your home, make sure that the tiny mouse and the modak are a part of it
- According to Vaastu experts, a Ganesha idol with the trunk tilted to the left symbolizes contentment and success. On the other hand, an idol with the trunk tilted to the right is believed to be more challenging to please, as it represents the influence of the sun.
- Proper religious rituals and guidelines should be followed when installing a Ganesha idol at home or in the office.
- Our traditions teach us that the size and cost of the Lord’s idol are insignificant; what truly matters is the depth of our devotion, or sadhana. With this in mind, we at Samskara believe that our offerings—including idols, pooja essentials, and pooja room décor—will help you fully express your devotion to the Almighty.
