A person always starts any prayer, ritual or occasion by worshipping Lord Ganesha. His blessings are also sought before starting any new venture.
The traditional annual worship of Lord Ganesha, as the remover of all obstacles, is known as “Ganesha Chaturthi” (the birthday of Lord Ganesha).
This year, it will be celebrated on September 7.
Lord Ganesha was born at midday. If you are at home and have flexible working hours, then pray between 10.44am to 1.04pm. But if you can't make it this time, then the entire day is very auspicious
