Chocolate Modak Recipe in Association with SPAR Hypermarket


May Lord Ganesha bring Peace, Happiness and Prosperity to Everyone. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi! The much loved modak by Lord Ganesha refers to a story from Padma Purana, a story from the volatile book of mythology refers that of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati along with Ganesha visited Anusuya, the wife of a respectable sage named Atri. While Lord Ganesha was presented with a platter full of mouth-watering delicacies, none were able to satiate his hunger.The only food item to have done the impossible was our now-famous modak. Hence began modak’s association with the Lord Ganesh and festive celebrations!
