Lord Ganesha, the god of wisdom, prosperity and good luck, troubleshoots the sufferings of devotees. While Ganapati is a loveable God, there are some things that one must take care of while worshipping Ganesha.

1) The direction of Ganesha's trunk is important when it comes to worshipping Ganesha. According to the scriptures, Ganesh idol with his trunk in the left direction should be installed in the house. This will please Ganapati and he will bestow his blessings. Idols with trunks carved on the right side is believed to be for Sakta rules and worship.

2) Dedicate Ganeshji his dear things - Modak, Bundi Laddu and this will ensure prosperity for devotees.

3) Apply a tilak of sindoor on Ganesha's forehead.  

4) Offer him red flowers. This ensures joy. 
 
5) Do not use basil in the worship of Ganeshji, Ganapati gets angry with the use of Tulsi.  

6) Avoid moon sighting on Ganesh Chaturthi. This will lead to Mithya dosha, and a person can be wrongly implicated. If one sees the moon unknowingly, then chant the following manta: 'सिहः प्रसेनम्‌ अवधीत्‌, सिंहो जाम्बवता हतः। सुकुमारक मा रोदीस्तव ह्येष स्वमन्तकः॥'.  This will remove all dosha of chandra darshan on this day.
