The most zealous and pious time of the year is here! It’s our favourite, Bappa’s birthday and the month of magnificent celebrations! Ganesh Chathurthi in India is celebrated in a vigorously grand manner with a lot of rituals and traditions. This festival takes place for more than a week where people keep Sankashti Vrat in the name of Lord Ganesha. People all over India fast on this auspicious time and it’s believed that people who fast will be provided with health, wealth and prosperity by Lord Ganesha. During this pious fasting, there are only certain foods that people can eat and they keep themselves strictly away from non-vegetarian foods, alcohol, and many other things. Here are a few recipes to make your vrat time a little more delicious, exciting and healthy!
