Modak is a beloved sweet treat and a staple during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. These delightful steamed dumplings are more than just a festive dessert. They are a divine symbol, cultural tradition, and culinary delight all rolled into one. However, this year, a sweet shop in Nashik has taken the modak game to a whole new level. By infusing gold into their modak, they have created a luxurious Golden Modak priced at Rs 20,000 per kg. The shop behind this special sweet is 'Sagar Sweets', which has not just relied on traditional ingredients but has developed a premium variety likely involving edible gold or other high-end additions.
