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 Rajgir
Rajgir is a pilgrimage town for three traditions at once and a small residential one underneath. Rites for visitors are kept at the kunds and at the hill shrines; rites for the town's own households are kept at home, in Magahi, on the Magadh calendar.
The hot springs are the town's ritual centre, and bathing there is a step in a rite rather than an amenity. The Malamas fair in the intercalary month is the one period when the site is too full to plan anything around.
