The celebration is marked by offering prayers to the idol of Lord Ganapati and conducting the stringent Ganesh Jayanti Vrat. A special preparation made of til (sesame seeds) is offered to Ganesha and then distributed to the devotees as prasad for eating.

Many people make it a point to observe Ganesh Jayanti by visiting famous Lord Ganesh temples. The most popular temple for the devotees to visit is Moreshwar temple in Morgaon, Pune district, Maharashtra - which is the starting and ending point of a pilgrimage of eight revered Ganesha temples called Ashtavinayaka.
