Ganesh Chaturthi Special 🌸

If your modak never comes out in a neat shape, share it anyway. Bappa has never minded 🙏

Let's celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi together with the food that goes on the plate and in front of the idol. Post your prasad, your naivedya, your festive sweet or the full thali your family lays out on the first day. Steamed or fried, coconut-filled or khoya-filled, made from scratch or made in a hurry between visitors. Regional versions from Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Andhra and Tamil Nadu are all very welcome.

Here is some inspiration for you:
