Ganesh Chaturthi is finally here and we can't wait to celebrate it with much fun and enthusiasm. Devotees around the world are all set to prepare the grand bhog to offer to the Lord Ganesha. While speaking of the bhog, modak is considered Lord Ganesha's favourite sweet treat and the bhog is just incomplete without including modak in it. That's why the sweet shops near our residence are laden with a variety of modaks. Coconut modak, mawa modak, khoya modak and even chocolate modak. Some people also try to make modaks at home.
