    About Ganesh Chaturthi

    Ganesh Chaturthi also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi marks the arrival of Lord Ganesh to earth from Kailash! We celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi by doing special pooja for Lord Ganesha, offering him his favourite food and visiting Ganesha temples & pandals. Ganesh Chaturthi is the next big festival after Diwali which is almost celebrated with equal fervour and devotion across all the states of India!

    • Ganesha’s Favorites : Modak / Kozhukattai (in Tamil), Sundal are his favorites. At home we make wide varieties of Modak – sweet modak, savour modak, spicy modak, plain modak, fried modak, gravyish modak on his day.

    • Ganesh Idol : Installation of huge crafted and beautifully decorated statutes of Ganesha in pandals/ podiums marks the beginning of celebration Visiting the various public displays / pandals is a popular activity during the festival. At homes, we buy new Ganesh idols, perform abishekam of the idol and do pooja on the day. Modaks, fruits, sundal, coconut and jaggery, are offered to the God and then shared with friends & relatives as well.
    • Ganesh Visarjan : It is a belief that Lord Ganesh gets back to Kailash after 10 day visit to earth on Visarjan day! It signifies the cycle of birth, life and death. Visarjan means immersion – On Anant Chaturdashi (the last day), the statues are paraded through the streets, accompanied by much singing and dancing and immersed in sea, river or a water body! It is also believed that Lord Ganesh gives a new beginning by taking away our obstacles by getting it immersed in water!

    Ganesh Chaturthi Modak Recipes

    Modak is made using rice flour for outer covering shell and for the inner filling traditionally freshly grated coconut and jaggery are used. But now there are many variations and alternates to the traditional modak recipe and here are some. I have given modak recipes with mould and without the mold.

    The South Indian version of modak is called Kozhukattai or Modakam which is very popular in Southern States especially in Tamil Nadu.
