Several key considerations should be kept in mind when worshipping during Ganesh Chaturthi. During the installation of Lord Ganesha, his idol should always be placed in the correct location, facing the right direction. The idol of Lord Ganesha should be installed in the north-east direction. His face should be in the north direction.
Do not use a broken idol for worship, even by mistake. Doing so is inauspicious. If the idol is broken while being brought home or for any other reason, it should not be installed. Tulsi leaves should not be offered to Ganesha even by mistake. Ganesh ji loves Durva grass and Gandha flowers very much. After the Ganesha installation, people present in the house should observe celibacy.
