Sacred idols you should worship along with Ganpati Bappa
The month of festivities is here commencing from the homecoming of everyone’s beloved Lord Ganesha. During this 10-day festival, the God of fortune and remover of obstacles is in full glory and worshipped daily with immense dedication and love from devotees. Many people offer him fresh home-made Ganpati modaks every day to keep him happy and also offer fruits and Ganpati flower (red hibiscus) for morning prayers while others decorate the idol with Ganpati jewellery. During this time, women also adorn themselves with Ganpati Bappa Jewellery.
While everyone showers all their love on Ganpati Bappa and make him feel welcomed, only few people know which companions of Ganpati Bappa need to be worshipped. It is believed that when each of these Gods or idols are worshipped along with Ganpati, they keep him happy and also transfer your wishes to Lord Ganesha.
Here are a few idols/murtis you should worship along with Ganpati Bappa:
Goddess Gauri- Since it was Mother Parvati (Gauri) who gave birth to Lord Ganesha, it is important to worship her as well and like each one of us Ganesha is also very fond of his mother and always wants to be around her. Many people also adorn Gauri Ji with Gauri Ganpati Jewellery.
Ganesha Undir- The mouse is known to be Lord Ganesha’s vaahan which is placed near his murti. It is believed that when the devotee utters his wish in the ears of the undir, it transfers the message to lord Ganpati and the wish is fulfilled. Anuradha Art Jewellery offers a beautiful range of gold-finished and multicolour undir idols online.
Kasav- Many Hindu families believe that keeping a tortoise in their homes bring fortune and wellness. Hence, many devotees keep a Kasav (tortoise) idol in water during Ganesh Pooja.
Elephant- The elephant is the companion of Goddess Gauri and is known to symbolize great intellect and wisdom. It is also known as Gajlaxmi or Gajantlaxmi. Hence, it is wise to worship the idol along with the Ganesha murti. You can find various adorable murtis of elephants online.
