Ucchistha Ganesha is a tantric form of Lord Ganesha, depicted with His consort, symbolizing mastery over desires and the granting of material and spiritual blessings through unconventional wisdom.
Directions for Using the Ucchistha Ganesha Statue:
- Place the Ganesha statue on a clean, sacred altar or in a prayer room, facing east or north.
- Perform Abhishekam (hydration pooja) with rose water or milk according to your personal practice—daily, weekly, or monthly. After Abhishekam, rinse the statue with clean water and wipe it dry.
- Apply small round dots of sandalwood paste at the four corners of the base and on the deity’s forehead.
- Light a candle or ghee lamp and an incense stick in front of the statue.
- Offer hibiscus flowers or any fresh, fragrant red-colored flowers, along with fresh or dry fruits as prasad to Ganesha.
- Sit in front of the statue and meditate daily, or on the 4th Moon or 14th Moon, by chanting the mantra “Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha” 27, 54, or 108 times, as per your convenience.
Note: The statue’s color may change over time, especially with regular Abhishekam (hydration pooja). However, this change in appearance does not diminish the spiritual power of the energized statue.
