From mithai to ornate bags, precious jewellery, and stylish fits, here’s your festive guide to getting ready for Ganesh Chaturthi
With Ganesh Chaturthi just around the corner, the festive season feels incomplete without mithais, scrumptious food and festive ensembles. No sweet captures the spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi quite like the modak. Considered Lord Ganesha’s favourite offering, this delicacy has long been a symbol of festive devotion. Traditionally filled with coconut and jaggery and wrapped in delicate rice flour shells, modaks have been a staple of the celebration for generations. From regional mithais to gourmet versions, there’s a modak for everyone this season. Here’s our edit of the best places to get your festive favourite dessert.
Parsi Diary Farm
With its century-old legacy, they have introduced an exclusive range of handcrafted modaks. From timeless classics like Mawa, Kesar, and Motichoor to unique options like Sugar-free Date and Jaggery Coconut Kaju, each modak is crafted with purity and devotion, making it the perfect centrepiece for festive prayers and gatherings.
Smoor
Smoor reimagines modak with a luxurious twist. Their limited-edition collection features the Mango Cashew Modak, blending Alphonso mango with crunchy cashews, and their Choco Modak, layered with chocolate and nutty notes. Packaged in elegant, festive boxes, these indulgent sweets are perfect for gifting or prasad.
Bombay Baking Company, JW Marriott Juhu
Adding a gourmet twist to your festive ensemble, Bombay Baking Company at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu is presenting its Artisanal Modak Collection. Thoughtfully crafted box features eleven handcrafted delights in signature flavours like Pistachio Glow, Chocolate Hazelnut, Zest Noir, Anjeer Khajur, and Nutty Delight, making them the perfect addition to your Ganesh Chaturthi gatherings or gifting repertoire.
Hocco
This year, Hocco Ice Cream brings a refreshing twist to festive indulgence with its playful Modak-shaped ice creams, a modern reinterpretation of the beloved traditional sweet. Available in two decadent variants, the White Chocolate Modak, crafted with coconut ice cream encased in a silky white chocolate shell, and the Milk Chocolate Modak, with coconut cream–infused ice cream coated in rich milk chocolate, these treats capture the joy and spirit of celebration in every bite.
A Festive Makeover
But it isn’t just about sweet treats. It’s also the time of year when your ethnic wardrobe deserves a refresh — and festive dressing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Between pujas, parties, and family gatherings, finding the perfect look can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be limited to sarees. Think versatile kurta sets, breezy kaftans, and contemporary silhouettes that blend tradition with modern flair. From maximalist embroidered ensembles to timeless festive staples and hybrid silhouettes, here’s your curated guide to an effortless, fuss-free look this Ganesh Chaturthi.
Start your Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations on a luminous note with Amrapali’s Silver Navratna Anika pearl necklace, a jewel of timeless artistry. Paired with Anita Dongre’s Surmaya Embroidered Silk Tabard Set, the look strikes the perfect balance between modern elegance and festive grandeur.
Adding to the sparkle, Aneka’s Diversa Emerald Statement Long Earrings bring a bold yet elegant touch, making them the perfect companion for celebrations that call for glamour and grandeur.
For a vibrant take, choose Sheetal Batra's Zaliyah Orange Long Chauga With Salwar and style it effortlessly with Fizzy Goblet’s Golden Sunrise juttis. Complete the look with statement IT bags like Tarun Tahiliani’s Byzantium bag or Anaar’s Swan Annette Clutch; both are timeless staples for Indian celebrations.
Anavila's yellow Bagh organza applique saree and Puneet Balana's Classic Baingana saree set are standout choices to add a pop of colour to your festive dressing. The Sheesh Mahal mini purse by Needle Dust × Abhinav Mishra is a one such potli to don with all your warm-toned, golden and champagne outfits.
