Arghya means respectful offering to a guest. During various pūjā-s, different gods and goddesses are invoked. After completing the

entire pūjā, arghya is offered to the concerned deity as a mark of respectful reception.

During Mahāgaṇapati pūjā, kṣirārghyam ( रा यम ्) is considered as very important. This arghyam is to be offered by everyone present

during pūjā, not just by the one who performed the pūjā. Milk is used (not boiled) for offering arghyam. In the right hand one has to hold

two bananas, betel leaves with areca nuts, akṣata and flowers. Using the left hand one has to pour the milk into right hand using

uttaraṇi, or seek the help of the one who performed the pūjā to do this.

Kṣirārghyam begins with a small saṅkalpa.

महागणप त पज
ू ा ते ीरा य दानम ् क र ये॥

There are four arghya-s. At the end of each arghya, milk is to be poured through right palm into a vessel, kept separately for this.
