Ganesh Chaturthi, one of India’s most cherished festivals, is a symphony of devotion, tradition, and culinary offerings. Each of the ten days dedicated to Lord Ganesha is marked by grand rituals, joyous celebrations, and a distinct prasad that symbolises gratitude and reverence.
From the beloved modak, considered Ganesha’s most favoured sweet, to a medley of fruits, savouries, and delicacies, every offering carries its own meaning and blessing. As we prepare to welcome the festival in 2025, here’s a day-by-day guide to the sacred prasads that enrich the devotion and spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi shared by our expert, Tarot Pooja Verma, Tarot Card Reader and Numerology Expert.
