Dash Bhuja Ganpati Temple Pune - Shree Ganesh Yaag

Shree Ganesh Yaag is a sacred Vedic ritual dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom, success, and prosperity. This powerful homam (fire ritual) is performed to seek blessings for new beginnings, remove negativity, and ensure success in personal or professional life. The puja typically begins with Ganapati Prarthana, followed by Sankalpam, Kalash Sthapana, Ganapati Atharvasheersha chanting, and finally the Ganesh Havan with offerings like durva grass, modaks, and ghee into the holy fire. Devotees chant mantras such as "Om Gam Ganapataye Namah" to invoke Lord Ganesha’s divine energy. Performing the Shree Ganesh Yaag brings peace, prosperity, good health, and success. It is especially auspicious before major events like weddings, housewarmings, or starting new ventures. The yaag is best performed on Chaturthi tithi, especially during Ganesh Chaturthi or Sankashti Chaturthi, under the guidance of learned priests.

Shri Ganesh Yaga starts with Ganapati Dhyanam and Avahanam, followed by Kalash Sthapana and Shodashopchar Puja using flowers, incense, turmeric, and sweets. Vedic mantras, especially Ganapati Atharvashirsha, are chanted. The main ritual is the Havan, where ghee, durva, sesame, and modak are offered into the sacred fire. Aarti and prasad distribution follow. Performed on Chaturthi by 11 Brahmins, this yaga seeks Lord Ganesha’s blessings for obstacle removal, peace, and prosperity at home or in temples.
