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 Varanasi
Varanasi does more ritual per day than any city on this list, and the effect is that everything is available and nothing is quiet. A rite kept on a ghat shares the ghat; one kept at a temple is fitted between the temple's own aartis, which are fixed and do not move for a booking.
The city's own pandits are trained in karmakanda to a depth that is unusual, so a question about why a step is done a particular way tends to get an answer from a named authority. The lanes are the practical constraint: the last stretch to most addresses is walked, and samagri is carried in.
