How To Handle Ganpati's Prasad Responsibly After Visarjan Puja
Prasad is food offered to Ganesha during puja.
It can include modaks, laddoos, fruits and other foods.
After the puja, people can share it with family members, neighbours and others.
Sharing helps prevent the food from being wasted.
Prasad should not be treated exactly like ordinary leftover food.
However, food can spoil even if it was offered during a puja.
Nobody should be forced to eat spoiled or unsafe prasad.
Food that is no longer safe should be thrown away responsibly.
Modaks, laddoos, fruits and other bhog offered to Ganesha can be shared after puja.
Prasad can be distributed among family members, neighbours and others.
Prasad should be received and shared rather than wasted.
Spoiled or unsafe food should not be eaten simply because it was offered during puja.
Food that is no longer fit to eat should be disposed of responsibly.
