Hi, Namaste everyone, my name is Sanjana and this is my younger sister
Hi, my name is Sahithi and this is my elder sister
we're two sisters and we live in America
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
welcome back to our channel and if
you're new to our channel please make
sure to like and subscribe
and share with your family and friends
so, in this vlog, we are showing you Ganesh Chaturthi
and this is very special because it's
our first ever festival in our new home
and not only is it Ganesh Chaturthi, it's also Sanjanas birthday according to the Indian calendar
so it's her birthday!
umm so it's her Indian calendar birthday
and it's not her date birthday
birthday it's coming up in a couple of
weeks. and we will show you that in our vlog
so it's Sanjana's birthday according to the Indian calendar, and its Ganesh Chaturthi
is also extra special and these two events
it's happening for the first time in our
new home. we just moved in yesterday
so all the packers movers came yesterday
and then they bought everything into our
home and then by the time we finished all our college assignments it
was 11 o'clock at night
and at 11 we started these decorations
with the stuff that we just found
luckily found in our garage
so we started the decorations at 11
and then we slept at two and then woke
up at five a.m
and then continued our decoration 
-yeah so
when we woke up in the morning we did more decorations and
then prasad we made prasad and performed the Ganesh pooja
and we are about to give the evening aarathi
alright so, all of you guys will watch what we did from 11pm yesterday
let's go into the vlog
all right Sanjana are you done with all your assignments 
-yeah for today
Ok I will come and help you
-ok yeah
OK so time right now is ... lets see... 12:04
umm, basically we just finished making the backdrop
yeah so by the time we finished all of our class assignments and made the backdrop its midnight
yeah, we worked on the backdrop for almost an hour
and by the time we finished class, not class, assignments it was 11pm
and then we started and now it's twelve
and we still have to make ganesha
so after we make Ganesha we're
gonna sleep and then wake up tomorrow
and then perform the pooja
alright so we have these leaves and flowers in our home already
we luckily found them somewhere in the
garage Sanjana went and found them
so we want to use whatever we find
like these flowers look so pretty. they are fake but they look real
and this cloth is really special because
when we went to Pune, we went to the Daddu Sate Ganpati Temple
and that temple is one of our favorite temples
and the priest there gave sanjana and I each one cloth
so it's very special and memorable for us
that's why we put it here
and another special thing on this table is this photo
our uncle bought it when we went to Tirupati so its also very special
so this is red air dry clay and we bought
it because we want to use it for ganesha
so this is a terra cotta color. it's going to look really pretty
all right so we just started making Ganesha, and
and every year we do this
we use air dry clay to make Ganesh and um it turns out good but the difference between every year and this year
is that we usually start
a lot earlier
but we are a little behind schedule now, tomorrow is the pooja and we are making it now
but that's okay because we just moved in today
into our new house hence there's no
furniture in here, there is only a little bit of furniture
so yeah we're just making it
and we will show you after it's done
all right so what do we need
I know we need
this diya
we need this too
and also flower basket
so I'm going to put these aside
and then this is like a flower basket
I'm going to put that aside too
do you know what else we need Sanjana
probably plates
do we need this big one
maybe
looks like there is something else here
there's something else here
uh let's see uh we probably need glasses
right
yeah so to put prasad and everything I'll
put two glasses
I don't think we need the Kalash maybe
let me put it to the side
and there are these plates here too, let's see
how many plates do we need
two?
I don't know
okay i'll just take out two and i can
keep the rest
aside, so we can get them tomorrow if needed
but if we just put aside what we need, it will be helpful tomorrow
I think we need this big plate right?
yeah
I will put the stuff that we took in this plate
I think that's all we need, everything else is near god already
I don't know if we need more we can take it tomorrow
So, I will put them near the god
so early morning the internet people came to put the internet
daddy booked the appointment earlier and
they came and they are putting the internet
all right so this is the final decoration um we still have a little bit left to do
but like most of it is done and
if you look here, we basically did all of the decoration with the items we have at home
so here we found these
like wooden sticks in one of the boxes
so
yesterday mommy, and daddy um went to buy vegetables so we use zucchinis as a stand
and on top, we tied corriander
so it looks really nice
and, like I said before we moved in yesterday
we just did all of the decoration with
the stuff that we have
and we didn't look through everything
it's just from the stuff that we were
able to find
all right so as you guys can see this is all the stuff from last night
it was 2am by the time we slept finishing some of the decorations
and there's more left, so we woke up at 5 and we are finishing up what's left
so right now Sanjana's tying chillies
all right so I am going to go outside and pick flowers
um i'm gonna do it in here like a little flower basket
oh no, I forgot to take out the wrap
so mummy plastic wraps all of our silver
items
so that they don't get black
That is a good tip because generally, they get black when they are oxidized
it like turns black right so if you plastic wrap them they don't get black
because a lot of air won't go in
Sanjana, can you take these out?
- yeah 
- so I forgot to take out the plastic
all right let's go outside and pick
flowers
alright, so I picked leaves from this plant already, and I will pick some from this too
all right so I am going to go over there and pick flowers
we just moved in yesterday so not a lot of flowers bloomed
so I will pick the bloomed ones
alright so, I picked all of these
so I got these from outside
and mom and dad got these flowers yesterday
so yeah, we will use these flowers and the flowers from our home
and Sanjana's decorating Ganesha
alright, so we just finished the decoration and we are about to start the pooja but before we do we are going to
to show you what we did from last night
till this morning
yeah, so we did last night, this
this is just flowers
vines and lights then just hanged them
and this is our regular pooja table
we kept the gods and everyone, and the diyas
we didn't light them but we will when we start the pooja
and also there's prasad
and we did all of this morning when we woke up
here we put Ganesha on top of rice and
and here we made the palla vella with the fruits and veggies we have at home
and then this is two pineapples and then
here we have two peaches
and then on this side, there's a flower
bouquet so we put flowers here
and then on both sides, we have big diyas
and on the floor we have prasad
so we have lemon rice, and curd rice on the floor
and also lemons, plums, cantaloupe, and in the flower baskets we have the
flowers I picked outside and then on this side there's the coconut and we will break it when we are doing the pooja
and there's also avocadoes
and on this side we made pongal(sweet rice)
and then we also have juices, orange juice and
acai berry juice
and here we lit the candles we showed you earlier
so yeah we have all the fruits, that's it let's go to the puja now
Sanjana, you come and light the other one because it is your birthday
oh yeah, today is also Sanjana's birthday she was
because according to the Indian calendar she was born on Ganesh Chaturthi
so yeah happy birthday
-Thanks
