How to Worship (Step-by-Step)

Step One: Prepare Offerings

It is recommended to purchase offerings on-site at the Ganesha worship area (the shrine at the intersection). Basic offerings include:

  • Garland: 1 piece
  • Candle: 1 piece
  • Incense sticks: 5 pieces (select the color corresponding to the weekday of your birth:
    • Monday—yellow
    • Tuesday—purple
    • Wednesday—green
    • Thursday—orange
    • Friday—blue
    • Saturday—purple
    • Sunday—red
  • Red water and milk: 1 cup each
  • Fruits (e.g., bananas, sugarcane, mangoes): 1 portion each
  • Sweets (the revered Elephant God's favorite desserts)
Step Two: Dress Code and Entry

Shoes must be removed before entering the worship area. It is recommended to wear a top with sleeves and long pants or a long skirt, and avoid wearing flip-flops.

Step Three: Light Incense and Pray
  1. Recite the prayer verses three times silently in front of the incense burner (please refer to the Romanized version available on-site).
  2. Light the incense sticks and candle, then hold the offerings (garland, incense sticks, candle) in both palms.
  3. Kneel before the revered Ganesha and sincerely state your full name, date of birth, current address, and specific wishes as below:
    • Your Identity: Full name, date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY), and residential address.
    • Your Wish: The specific request or desire. Provide clear, concrete details.
    • Your Promise: The method and intended timeframe for fulfilling your vow of gratitude upon the wish's realization.
Step Four: Present Offerings
  1. Insert the incense sticks into the incense burner.
  2. Offer the garland to the revered Ganesha (place it around the statue's neck or at its feet).
  3. Place offerings such as red water, milk, fruits, and sweets at the feet of the revered Ganesha.
  4. Secure the candle on the candle holder.
Step Five: Make a Wish to the Revered Ganesha and Perform the "Golden Mouse Test"
  1. Once again, state your wish to the revered Ganesha and clearly explain how you will fulfill your vow in return (e.g., offering fruits, hiring dancers to perform, etc.).
  2. Say to the revered Ganesha: "If you grant my wish, please let me lift the golden mouse with my little finger on the first try but not on the second try."
  3. Next, use your little finger to hook onto the golden mouse statue—it should come off easily on the first attempt but not on the second.
Step Six: Make a Wish to the Golden Mouse Statue
  1. Proceed to the golden mouse statue located on the left side of the revered Ganesha.
  2. Cover the left ear of the golden mouse statue with your palm and whisper your wish into its right ear.
  3. This ritual act ensures the golden mouse remembers and conveys your wish to the revered Ganesha.
Step Seven: Remember to give thanks

If your wish is granted, remember to return to the temple and fulfill your vow. Common ways to fulfill a vow include:

  1. Offering fruits, sweets, or other sacrificial gifts;
  2. Hiring dancers to perform in honor of the revered Ganesha;
  3. Offering scented shower gel (as the revered Ganesha is believed to enjoy bathing);
  4. Sharing the teachings of the revered Ganesha with 100 people;
  5. Or any other method you pledged during your prayer.
Special Rituals
  1. Divination with Jiao Bei (Wooden Moon Blocks)

    Beside the Ganesha shrine, you may perform divination using jiao bei (trapezoidal wooden moon blocks). To receive a positive response, you must toss the blocks and have them land with the same side facing up. Additionally, you may draw a fortune stick—remember the number of the stick you draw and take it to the interpretation counter at the back of the shrine for explanation.

  2. Wednesday and Thursday Blessing Ceremony

    Every Wednesday and Thursday after 9:00 PM, an Achan (venerable monk) conducts chanting and blessing ceremonies for devotees inside the shrine. The Achan will apply a red blessing mark (tilaka) on the foreheads of participants. This is considered an exceptionally auspicious time when the shrine's spiritual energy is most vibrant.

Matters Needing Attention
  • Dress Code: Sleeveless tops, shorts, or miniskirts are not permitted. Appropriate and modest attire is required.
  • Offering Restrictions: Meat or pungent foods should not be used as offerings.
  • Timing: Evening is the optimal time for worship, with Wednesday and Thursday nights being the most auspicious.
  • Vow Fulfillment Commitment: When making a wish, clearly specify the method of fulfilling the vow, and ensure it is practical and feasible.
