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 Gaya
Gaya's ritual year is organised around the ancestral rites, and everything else is arranged in the spaces around them. Through Pitru Paksha the town's pandits are committed for the fortnight and a domestic booking is hard to place; the months either side are open.
The town is also where families arrive rather than live, so a rite here is often kept at a lodging or on the Falgu rather than at a home. Samagri is easy to buy close to Vishnupad and the ghats, which is where most of it is sold.
