Ganesh Chaturthi is round the corner. I am sure many people have already started preparing sweets and savories for the festival. Ganesh Chaturthi known as Chavath in Goa and is the biggest festival in the small state just like Maharashtra. In Goa, preparations start as early as 2 or 3 weeks in advance before the festival begins. People clean and repaint their houses to welcome the Lord Ganesh. People also make several types of sweet and savory dishes for Ganesh Chaturthi. Today’s post has top 8 Ganesh Chaturthi recipes.

Different types of dishes are prepared and served as offerings to Lord Ganesh. Even different varieties of seasonal fruits are offered to Lord Ganesh. These fruits are normally tied to the ceiling where the idol is placed. This is called as “Matoli” in Konkani. These are then distributed to everyone as Prasad.

Ganesh Chaturthi begins with Gauri Pooja which is known as “tay”. The day after tay is “chavath” which is the day on which people welcome Lord Ganesh in their houses. Throughout the day people chant various shlokas and sing devotional songs known as aarthis. Children and elders in Goa burn fire-crackers just like how Diwali is celebrated in North India.
