On the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, whether you are cooking 'naivedya' (food) in your house or not, avoid using onion-garlic.
Avoid meat. Many people happily start eating meat as Shravan is over, but at least on the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, keep the sanctity of the festival by eating sattvic food.
When establishing the idol of Ganesha in your house do not do it as per your convenience, Try to follow the muhurata. This year, the time for installation of the idol is from 6 am to 5 pm. Do not delay in time.
Even if you do not establish Ganpati in your house, worship Ganpati in the temple properly and offer jaggery, coconut or Modak. Get up early in the morning for the puja, take a bath and put Amrapallava on the door. Don't be lazy to take a bath on that day. And if Ganpati Bappa is coming home, get up first and take a bath and be ready to welcome Bappa.
Be careful while wearing ornaments and garlands to make the idol of Bappa look more attractive. The idol is fragile. The idol should not break.
