Ganesha Ji is arriving soon at our doorstep, which is also called the beginning of festival seasons.
Ganesha Chaturthi is one of our favourite festivals, which also has many childhood memories associated.
Thinking of those innocent days, where this puja used to be all about wearing new dress, doing fast, worshiping our books, not studying on this day and most importantly, trying to please Ganesha in all ways possible to score good in exam!!! Seer Nostalgia... Isn't it ??? 😉
The bhog offered to Ganesha varies from place to place. But one of his well known favourites is "Modak", as per one of his famous pet name "Modakapriya". This year, following the healthy trend, I have prepared some steam Modak to welcome Ganesha Ji to my home.
