As you may think flowers are one of the worst ideas as they eventually dry up, but orchids although a slightly pricey affair are the best choice for decorating Ganeshji’s throne. The orchid flowers are long-lasting and have a life-span of 7 days. As the flowers look classy already, the flower installation will please Lord Ganesha and the guests as well.
Colored Paper Fans

If we can decorate tables and walls for the Lord why not try some creativity on the floor as well. Rangoli’s are the best always. Making beautiful art with colored sand and enhancing it with candles or diya’s are the best. One can make a colorful Rangoli at the doorstep to add oomph.
Lotus Theme
