KESAR PISTA MAWA MODAK

GANPATI BAPPA MORYA..
Our most Loved GANESHA arrives tomorrow at our Homes to Bless Us !!
Every year Millions of Indians wait for HIM to come to their house getting him with great Pomp & Pleasure.

Women generally prepare MODAKS for HIM as Modaks & Laddoos are his Favourite.
I too have prepared MODAK for my LORD who arrives tomorrow.
I love the different Creative ways in which this LORD is made with so much FAITH & my Home is full of Different types of GANPATI IDOLS. This one I picked up on my recent visit to Surat from a Vendor who had some Amazing Idols.

Mumbai streets are abuzz with sounds of Music & Crackers, people dancing on the streets while welcoming their Lord on his arrival every year. The Zest & Zeal with which Ganesha comes every year remains unmatched to any.

As mentioned earlier modaks & LADDOOS are supposed to be his favorite sweet & you can see crowds thronging at the Mithai ( Sweet ) Shops in huge numbers to buy these. These Sweets are usually offered in odd numbers to HIM like 5, 7, 11 ..

I am going to share a Very Quick Easy Recipe of KESAR PISTA MAWA MODAK which I make every year to celebrate HIS Homecoming.

I am sure you will love & prepare it too 😊😊
