A Ganapathi Bappa made of home grown Betel leaves and adorned with His favourite Hibiscus flower on the second day of the Ganesha festival. The festival lasts for 1- 5-10 days depending upon the number of days that one has vowed. Betel leaf is an auspicious symbol and along with Supari /Betel nut is a must in every Hindu ritual. It is usually partaken after lunch. Extremely healthy too as it contains chlorophyll.
