Offer these things dear to Lord Ganesha

Everyone waits for Ganpati Bappa. The arrival of Shri Ganesha, the god of knowledge and wisdom, is celebrated for 11 days. This festival has been celebrated with great enthusiasm and grandeur. This festival is celebrated on a large scale in Maharashtra and is the biggest festival of the year for them.
Its preparation also starts about a month in advance. Sweets are offered to Ganesha or Ganapati. It is believed that Lord Ganesha likes Modak very much, hence it is made at many places. Along with this, flowers, rice, coconut, jaggery and many other things are offered to him.
If this time you are also going to welcome Lord Ganesha with pomp, then prepare food for him. Let us know in this article what things you can offer to him.
Offer modak to Lord Ganesha
Ganpati Bappa likes modaks very much. It is actually a sweet that looks like a dumpling. It is made from rice and wheat flour and then jaggery is added and it is steamed. However, since some time, different types of Modaks have also started becoming available in the market. Modaks are being made in many flavors like Boondi Modak, Chocolate Modak, Mawa Modak and Rava Modak etc. This is a main Prasad during Ganesh Chaturthi, which must be offered to Lord Ganesha as bhog.
Offer Karanji to Lord Ganesha
If you are thinking after hearing Karanji, it is some new recipe then it is not so. If you see this, you will say that this is Gujiya! Although it is prepared during Holi, but its Maharashtrian version is prepared during Ganesh Utsav. The karanji, which is crispy on the outside, has a sweet stuffing of grated coconut inside. It can also be offered to Lord Ganesha as Prasad. If you make a little more of it, a sweet snack will also be ready for evening tea.
Offer Shankarpali to Lord Ganesha
It is also called Shakkar Pare and is a Maharashtrian snack. It is sweet and crispy. This Indian sweet snack is made from flour, sugar, semolina and lots of ghee. This deep fried snack is popular not only in Maharashtra but also in other states of the country. People also include it in the Prasad plate to offer to Lord Ganesha. Since it is easy to make at home, you can also make it at home instead of buying it from the market.
Offer Panchamrit to Lord Ganesha
Panchamrit is prepared in any puja. It is an essential part of the puja thali. It is offered to God in the form of Naivedyam. After offering it to the Lord, it is distributed among the devotees. It is made by mixing 5 things, hence its importance also becomes very special. Its ingredients are considered sacred, hence it should also be included in the worship as bhog.
Offer Jhunka to Lord Ganesha
I too had heard about this dish for the first time. When searched, it was found that apart from Modak, it is also included in Ganpati worship. This is a special dish, which is prepared only for Lord Ganesha on his birthday. If you think this is too sweet, it is not. Among all the sweets, this is one salty dish which is served during worship. It is made from gram flour and there is a tradition of serving it with Bhakri.
Offer rice to Lord Ganesha
Varan Bhaat is also a Maharashtrian recipe, which is included in Ganpati puja. During this time, God is not only offered sweets, but a feast is also organized especially for him. A grand feast is prepared and sweet, salty and other things are offered in it. One of them is Varan Bhaat, which is made from toor dal (benefits of toor dal). This very simply prepared dal is served with rice.
If you also think of making something for Ganpati, then make not only sweets but also some salty dishes. We hope you liked this information. If you liked this article, like and share it. To read such articles, stay connected with Harzindagi.
