In Maharashtra, the Ganesh Chaturthi festival is all about grand and grand. Life-sized Ganesh idols, colorful pandals and much more – this 10-day long festival is marked with a lot of fun and excitement. And what adds to the celebration is the most popular being the ‘Bhog’ – Modak prepared for Lord Ganesha. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that modak is synonymous with Ganesh worship. During this time of the year, devotees prepare different types of modaks to offer to their beloved deity. Some people also like to experiment with classic modak recipes to make unique sweet offerings to Lord Ganesha. This year, a sweet shop in Maharashtra added to the festivities with all things sweet.
