GANPATI AND THE DIVINE DELIGHT OF MODAKS
The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is not just an occasion; it’s a cherished tradition that brings people together to celebrate the presence of the remover of obstacles and bestower of wisdom. And what better way to pay homage to Lord Ganesha than by offering him the delectable and symbolic modaks? Today, we’ll take you on a delectable journey through the world of Ganpati Special Mawa Modak and Chocolate Modak from Mithiyaj.
The Significance of Modaks in Ganpati Celebrations
Modaks hold a special place in the hearts and traditions of those who celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi. These sweet dumplings are believed to be Lord Ganesha’s favorite delicacy. The term ‘modak’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘mod,’ which means happiness or delight. Offering modaks to Lord Ganesha during this festival symbolizes the devotee’s desire for happiness and the hope that their prayers and offerings will be accepted with pleasure.
Traditional modaks are made from rice flour or wheat flour and filled with a mixture of grated coconut and jaggery, often flavored with cardamom and nutmeg. These dumplings are then either steamed or deep-fried, resulting in a divine treat that captures the essence of the occasion.
