UPACHAARAAS
 
Now we are ready to invoke Ganapati and offer Upachaaraas (reception with reverence). With folded hands focus on the picture of the deity as you chant the following:

Om Sreemanmahaaganaadhipatayenamaha

I offer my salutations to Mahaganapati

Now offer a few grains of akshata with your right hand such that the grains fall on the picture gently as you chant

Om Sreemanmahaaganaadhipatayenamaha

aavaahanam samarpayaami

I offer an invocation to you

Offer akshata as before such that the grains fall on the altar as you chant
