Ganesh Chaturthi is a joyful festival celebrated everywhere in India. Families with love and devotion invite Lord Ganesha home as a guest and decorate in colorful elaborate ways.

Choose an idol made from organic clay. It will dissolve in water and does not harm nature.
Put the idol on a bamboo/ wooden platform. Decorate the area around the idol using banana leaves, flower petals, or a simple rangoli.
Make flowers using colored paper at home. Use bright colors like orange, red, or yellow.
Stick the flowers on a cardboard piece or wall behind the idol. You can add fairy lights above to shine a little glow when you want.
Pick colors and decorate with sarees or dupattas. Red, yellow, and gold always look great together!
Hang the sarees or dupattas as a curtain behind the idol.
This looks traditional and gives a temple-like feeling without spending too much money.
You can use flower petals, rice powder or natural colors to make rangoli. You can place it in front of the idol, or at the entrance of the house. Also put small diyas or LED tealights around the rangoli to glow back to life in the evening.
