One of the most awaited festivals of the year is here.\nGanesh Chaturthi is a festival that is celebrated with pomp throughout India\nand specially in Western India. This festival is celebrated every year during\nthe Chaturthi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many stories of the way Lord Ganesha was born. One\nstory says that Goddess Parvati created Lord Ganesha from the dirt on her body.\nGanesha was tasked with guarding Goddess Parvati whenever she was bathing. When\nLord Shiva came to meet Parvati, he fought with Ganesha as he wanted to meet\nthe Goddess Parvati. In his rage, he cut off the head of Lord Ganesha with his\ntrishul. While this was happening, Goddess Parvati suddenly came out and witnessed\nthe entire incident.  Lord Ganesha had\ndied till then. To an inconsolable Parvati, Lord Shiva promised that he will\nlive again. He cut off an elephant\u2019s head and attached it to Ganesha\u2019s lifeless\nbody. It is said that the elephant whose head was cut off was a Brahmin in his\npast life and had prayed for knowledge and wisdom in his previous life. This is\nhow Lord Ganesha came to be known later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the bulk of the rains is over, it is the festival of\nGanesh Chaturthi that is on everyone\u2019s mind at all times. Just like Diwali,\nthis is a festival that is keenly awaited by one and all, not just for\nexperiencing the various decors at the Ganesh Pandals but also to have some of\nthe best modaks in town. The Modak is said to be Lord Ganesha\u2019s favourite food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Lord Ganesha came\nto love Modak<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a story behind why Modak or Laddus are Lord\nGanesha\u2019s most favourite foods. It goes like this. Once, Lord Ganesha\nfought  with the sixth avatar of Lord\nVishnu. During the fight, Lord Ganesha lost a tooth and he couldn\u2019t eat solid\nfoods.  Soft foods like Modak\u2019s were\noffered which were soft and smothered with ghee which melted in the mouth. This\nis how Lord Ganesha is known to love Modak. There are two types of Modaks which\nare quite popular-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Modak<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the grandest of all the modaks<\/a>. Golden Modaks are offered to Lord Ganesha at many places. These modaks are the most succulent and the tastiest of all modaks and are some of the best you can get in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bundi Modak<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the smaller cousin of the Golden modak. As the name suggests, it is made from bundi and is quite popular during Ganesh Chaturthi. This Modak is ideal if you have to offer Prasad and then have to offer it to a large quantity of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ganesh Chaturthi is only days away. It is time to prepare\nourselves for this amazing festival and to enjoy it to the fullest before we\nhave to say \u2018 Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pudcha Varshi Lavkar Ya\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
