What to do · व्रत विधि
- Fast or eat once; Ganesh puja at midday with durva grass, red flowers and modak.
- Chant ‘Om Gan Ganapataye Namah’ 108 times.
- Avoid looking at the moon on Shukla Chaturthi night (by tradition it brings false blame).
Rule used: The vrat is on the day Shukla Chaturthi prevails at madhyahna (midday). We give a two-hour madhyahna puja window centred on local noon.
