Abstract:
Ganesh Puja, a vibrant festival dedicated to Lord Ganesha, integrates religious devotion with profound ethnobotanical traditions. Central to this celebration are the offerings of 21 sacred leaves (patri), 21 diverse flowers, and various traditional prasadams. Each plant and offering holds symbolic, medicinal, and cultural significance, representing an intricate web of biodiversity and spirituality. This study provides a comprehensive account of the botanical identities, vernacular names, ritual roles, and ethnopharmacological relevance of these offerings. By exploring the deep-rooted connections between flora and faith, the research emphasizes the importance of conserving biocultural heritage and sustaining sacred ecological knowledge.
