About Ganesh Puja
Ganesha is invoked before every other deity, which is what a Ganesh puja is for: it opens a shop, a house, a vehicle, an exam season or a longer rite. Kept on its own it is a short sequence — sankalp, sixteen upacharas, the Atharvashirsha or the Sankatnashan stotra, aarti — and it is over in an hour.
Durva grass in odd-numbered blades and modak are the offerings the tradition asks for by name. At Ganesh Chaturthi the same puja opens with pranapratishtha and becomes a stay of a day and a half or longer, ending in immersion; the rest of the year it stands alone.
Keeping a rite in Bhagalpur
Bhagalpur is a river town and its rites use the river. Tarpan, asthi visarjan and the shraddh rites are kept on the ghats below Budhanath rather than at home, and the monsoon changes which steps are usable rather than whether the rite happens.
The town's own tradition is Anga's, and the calendar it keeps around Shravan and Mahashivratri is the Shaiva one. Silk-weaving households in Champanagar and Nathnagar hold their own occasions, which is worth mentioning when a date is being fixed.
