Coconut
Also known as Shreefal, every part of the coconut is useful in some way. During Ganesh Pujan, it signifies Shiva's presence and is supposed to attract all the blessings from heaven. Breaking the coconut signifies breaking the hurdles in life, and Lord Ganesha—the Vighna Vinayak and Vignaharta—is worshipped for the exact same reason.
