Mahaganapati Homam - Shodashupchara Puja to Idol

[Guest guest]

Dear Narayan,

 

That is correct. That service combines 16 upchaara to both idol and fire and I

mistakenly assumed that it was only to Ganapati in the fire. The family priest

that we had always performed the 16 upchaara puja on the idol first and then to

Ganapati in the fire so I suggested the link but you don't really need it.

Narasimhaji has taken care of everything.

 

Regards

upchaara puja to Ganapati idol prior to the Homam where again you can perform a

16 upchaara puja to Ganapati in the fire, I found a link on the internet which

gives very basic instructions to do such a puja. I tried this prior to the Homam

and got good results.
