ganesh ji ko safed, ya hari durba atyadhik priya hai. durba ki fungi men tin, ya panch pattiyan honi chahien. ganpti ko, tulsi chor kar, sabhi pushp priya hain.
padm puran, achararatn men likha hai ki ganesh ji ki tulsi patra se tatha durga ki durba se puja n karen. atah jis vyakti ko dhan ki kami ho, ghar men kalah ho, bimari har samay ghere rahti ho, ya koi bhi kasht ho, to ganpti ko modak aur durba charhane se uske har kasht dur ho jate hain.
kyonki inhen sabhi devtaon ka sarvadhyaksh pad prapt hai, yah pratham pujniya ke rup men prasiddh hain, islie inki jo andekhi karta hai, vah kasht se ubar nahin sakta tatha inka jo dhyan lagata hai, usse kasht koson dur rahta hai. shri ganesh ji ko agar nitya 21 durbaen charhayi javen, to us vyakti ka kalyan ho jata hai.
ganesh ji ko 21 durbaen charhane ka shastrokt vidhan nimn likhit hai:
shukla paksh men dvitiya, tritiya, shashthi, chaturthi, trayodshi, purnima ke din, hast, chitra, svati, anuradha, pushya, ashvini,, punarvasu, mrigshira, tinon uttara nakshatra ho, ya shukla paksh men budhvar ke din budh ki hora men, yadi sachche man se shvetark ganpti, ya anya ganpti vigrah, ya matra supari par roli charha kar 21 durvaen nitya charhayi javen, to us vyakti ko buddhi, dhan, yash, nirogta prapt hote hain.
