According to Drik Panchang, It is believed that Lord Ganesha was born during Madhyahna Kala, hence Ganesh Puja is performed during Madhyahna. According to the Hindu day's division, Madhyahna Kala is midday. People are advised to avoid sighting the moon on Ganesh Chaturthi, as it creates Mithya Dosham or Mithya Kalank - meaning false accusation of stealing something.
On Ganesh Chaturthi, devotees perform their religious duties by getting up early. Then, they take a bath, wear new clothes, clean the temple in their house, light a diya in the temple, place gangajal, offer bhog prasad and modaks to Lord Ganesha, and perform aarti.
