Ganesh Chaturthi Recipes

Ganesh Chaturthi, also known asย Vinayaka Chaturthiย is a 10-day Indian festival to celebrate Lord Ganeshaโ€™s birth. He is also known as Ganpati, Vigna Harta (one who removes obstacles), and many other names. Lord Ganesha is considered a symbol of wisdom, good fortune, and lord of beginnings and hence always worshipped at the start of something new.

Below is a variety of Maharashtrian recipes you can make for Ganesh Chaturthi, including both sweet and savory recipes.

Modak is Lord Ganeshaโ€™s favorite food and he also loves sweets so these are always offered to him as Prasad. Varan Bhaat, Batata Bhaji with Shrikhand, Puri are some personal favorites!!
