Have you planned your Ganesh Chaturthi prasad menu yet? As we prepare to welcome Bappa into our homes with dhols, decorations, and devotion, let’s not forget one of the most heartfelt parts of the celebration—the prasad! Sweets aren’t just treats during Ganesh Chaturthi; they are sacred offerings, expressions of love and gratitude.
This year, how about making your prasad platter both traditional and healthy with dry fruits mithai?
Sweets: A Special Part of Ganesh Chaturthi Prasad
In every home celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi, sweets hold a place of pride. Lord Ganesha, fondly known as Modakpriya (the one who loves Modaks), is traditionally offered a variety of prasad. When these offerings are made with wholesome dry fruits like almonds, cashews, figs, and walnuts, they beautifully blend taste, health, and devotion.
