First thing first! Before bringing Ganesha home, you need to clean the entire house properly. It is a very auspicious occasion, so making sure that your house is not dirty is very important, especially in the area where the Ganesha idol will be placed.

To place the idol, use a simple table or a stage. You can decorate the stage in various ways. There is a lot of excitement to welcome Ganesha home with great pomp and show! Ganesha is the start of new beginnings, thus placing the Ganesha properly and with full faith is a very important aspect of this festival.

According to Vaastu, west, north and north-east directions are suitable for keeping the idol. Always go for clay models of Ganesha which are eco-friendly and easily get immersed in water. Also, make sure the trunk of Ganesha is tilted to its left and not to its right to bring good luck to your home.

You can create a backdrop or the mandap for Ganesha using cardboard, acrylic sheets, or vinyl. You may use real flowers, paper flowers, balloons, umbrellas, colourful draperies, pom poms, and other craft decorations to beautify the backdrop. You can also create a backdrop like a temple or create a string of flower garlands or even banana leaves for Ganpati decoration.

Flower decoration is an integral part of Ganpati decoration at home. Various flowers like roses, orchids, lilies, marigolds are used to decorate the idol, the pooja room as well as the entire home. Among these, marigolds are the most commonly used flowers for Ganesh pooja decoration. You can put flower garlands on the idols of Ganesh and Lakshmi and even individual flowers surrounding them. Flowers are a symbol of divinity and purity. They spread happiness and hope for the future. You can even add a printed floral background as a backdrop. Even a simple rangoli with chrysanthemums and marigolds looks very pretty. You can also place the diyas on the rangoli to add sparkle to your decor!

A well set pooja thali instantly spread the mesmerizing aura of Lord Ganesha! Filled with traditions and festivities, set the pooja thali with full devotion. You can place a small diya, the sacred pooja thread, durva grass, modaks, fruits, and karanji on the thali as offerings to Lord Ganesha.

You can decorate the mandap as well as the entrance of your homes with brass vessels, brass lamps, shimmering lights, vibrant tassels, traditional motifs, and lanterns to spread the divine aura. Accessories offer that extra finishing touch to your Ganpati home decor.
