Lord Ganesh is considered as the harbinger of luck, success and prosperity. Devotees bring him home so that he can bless them and celebrate his homecoming with much grandeur.

On the 11th day, Lord Ganesh is believed to leave for Mount Kailasha along with all the misfortunes of his devotees and shower blessings on them.

It is believed during these 10 days of puja, the deity who is formless is invoked in the idols; a process called Praana Pratishtha.

This practice also serves as a subtle reminder to the devotee about the transitory nature of life and how our physical form is returned to the elements after death.

Before immersing Lord Ganpati’s clay idol in water, it is imperative to perform aarti and important mantras should be chanted. After the aarti, bhog in the form of modaks and sweets are offered to the deity and prasad is served to all the devotees.
