Ganesha Chaturthi Puja: in-person & virtual
Sep 18, 2023 6:30pm-8:00pm (ended)
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as a three-part festival at MA Center. The first event is making your own Ganesh from clay at the Center; second is the Puja for your clay Ganesha; the final event is the Visarjan, The symbolism of the Ganesh immersion ceremony is that all forms are temporary, having both their origin and final destination in the formless Absolute.
We welcome you to be a part of the puja offered to the handmade Ganesh murthis (sacred clay figures) you created on September 9, as we honor Lord Ganesha, who removes obstacles and brings good fortune.
RSVP Required for in-person attendance
Please RSVP to attend the puja in person here by Thursday, September 14th by 10 PM so that we will have the puja supplies ready for you to perform the puja.
Livestream: The puja will be livestreamed on YouTube if you are unable to attend in person.
Click here for details about making your murthi and setting up your puja at home.
Schedule:
- Participatory Ganesh Puja
- Bhajans
- Arati and Closing prayers
