Ganesh Chaturthi 2026, a widely celebrated Hindu festival in India, will begin on September 14. Devotees welcome Lord Ganesha by offering prayers, flowers, and bhog. While modak is a favorite offering, there are various other traditional dishes that can be prepared as naivedya for Bappa.
Delhi will host grand celebrations for Ganesh Chaturthi, with puran poli being a classic Maharashtrian sweet made with chana dal and jaggery. Laddoos, such as besan laddoo, motichoor laddoo, coconut laddoo, and boondi laddoo, are also popular choices for bhog. Kheer, a creamy milk-based dessert, can be garnished with dry fruits before offering to Lord Ganesha.
Other easy-to-prepare prasad options include sheera, a semolina-based dessert, and coconut-based sweets like laddoos or naral bhaat. Bananas and other seasonal fruits are traditionally offered to Lord Ganesha, along with sabudana preparations for those observing a fast.
