Pune Ganeshotsav 2026: 251-Kg Rasmalai Modak Cake, Giant Motichoor Laddu Offered To Dagdusheth Ganpati

Pune witnessed a grand display of devotion during the Ganeshotsav celebrations, as a massive 251-kg modak cake and a colossal motichoor laddu were offered to the revered Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati idol. WS Bakers and Prabhat Farshan and Deepak Caterers presented these remarkable offerings, which were brought to the festival mandap on trolleys in front of the trust's trustees, office-bearers, and volunteers.

WS Bakers' Vikas Agrawal, who was present during the ceremony, revealed that the preparation of the 251-kg rasmalai-flavored modak cake involved a team of 40 to 50 people. The giant motichoor laddu, transported into the mandap using forklifts due to its immense size and weight, marked the 26th consecutive year of the Malani family's involvement in such offerings.

The devotees were thrilled by the grandeur of these offerings, with Nashik's Aniket Maid expressing that the mammoth motichoor laddu was a truly impressive sight. This tradition, now an integral part of Ganeshotsav, continues to captivate devotees, offering them a memorable and awe-inspiring experience every year.
