The Divine Connection Between Ganpati and Modak

Ganesh Chaturthi brings two things to mind: Lord Ganesha's loving and playful smile, and a plate full of steaming, soft Ganpati modaks! This sweet dumpling, with its delicate rice flour shell and melt-in-the-mouth jaggery-coconut filling, is considered to be Lord Ganesha's all-time favourite sweet! 

But why modak? The answer is wrapped in a blend of mythology, symbolism, and tradition that has made the modak synonymous with Ganpati celebrations! 

Unfold the mystical truth and take a sweet bite of tradition, with Sweet Karam Coffee! 

The Modak Story: How It Became Ganesha’s Favourite Sweet

In the scriptures, there are so many leelas that explains why modak is a favourite food of Lord Ganesha. One of the most loved modak story comes from the Anantapurana. It is said that once, the Devas offered a divine sweet to Lord Shiva and Parvati.

This was no average sweet; it was a modak, brimming with wisdom, knowledge, and happiness. Both parents wanted to give it to the worthiest of their two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya. To decide, they posed a challenge: whoever circled the world three times and returned first would win the modak.

Kartikeya quickly hopped on his peacock and took off for the whole world; while Ganesha understood the challenge, he simply folded his hands, walked around his parents three times, and declared that they were for him the entire universe. 

Pleased with Ganesha's wisdom and devotion, Goddess Parvati granted Ganesha the modak. Since that time, modak has been regarded as Ganesha's favourite sweet.
