This Ganesh chaturthi is quite awesome for me.. I saw my grand uncle going out to the garden and choosing a suitable spot, dig out some clay. He would then bring it in and pray to it before moulding it into an idol. The most prominent part of the resulting idol would be a long, curved trunk, which identified the idol as one of Ganesha – the Lord with the elephant face. This idol would be placed on our altar, special prayers would be conducted with flowers plucked from the same garden, and a feast would be prepared in his honour. The next day, the idol would be immersed in a bucket of water. The day after, the water would be poured back into the garden, thus completing a journey where it started from.
We used only Dhurva grass for the puja, and just a few flowers. The festival at our home lasts for 5 days, at the end of which we immerse our idols at a nearby lake along with many others from our colony. Not wanting to suddenly change the tradition, this year we immersed our main Ganesha with his usual companions. The other two we chose to immerse at home. Once the idols had crumbled and turned to clay, we poured the water into our back yard.
hope it helps *****
