Hello Readers,

Tomorrow is the fifth day of celebrating Lord Ganesh. The theme for tomorrow’s celebration is Medicinal plants. Do you know that at least 21 different plants are used for the ‘Patri Puja’!
Why 21? It’s quite interesting!
·      Our body is made of 5 tatva (elements) and 16 indriyaan (organs), hence this puja is a way of symbolically offering our whole self to Ganesh ji, thereby keeping our ego in check.
·      10 plants symbolize the dasavataras (10 avatars) of Lord Vishnu and 11 avatars of Lord Shiva.

Patri Puja is a great way of teaching the medicinal properties of the plants to our younger generation.

How can you contribute? Easy! Just send us your writeup on these medicinal plants and become a part of our week-long celebration.

Kindly send your contributions by 8 pm.

Enjoy the edition!


Priyanka
