Vinayaga Chathurti is celebrated in the most natural and ergonomic way in Tamil Nadu because idols will be made with mud , Vinayaga will be garlanded with Erugam poo (Purple crown flower), This plant will be available in almost all households, The beautiful purple colour flower will add more beauty to the Vinayagar.

The prasad will be simple Kozhukattai ( Modak), Sundal (Cooked legumes) and fruits. They will bring the Ganesh Ji on the festival day and do 3 days pooja, on the 3rd day they will immerse the idol into the well. With well being very rare because of high rise buildings these days , people immerse the idol in the bucket full of water.
