Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 in Maharashtra: Traditions, Healthy Recipes, and Why Pure Oils Matter

The Spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra

Ganesh Chaturthi is more than a festival—it’s an emotion that brings people together across Maharashtra, especially in Pune and Mumbai. Streets come alive with colorful pandals, chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya!”, and the irresistible aroma of festive delicacies like modaks, puran poli, and fried snacks.

But amid the grandeur, there’s an important question: Are we keeping our festive food as pure as our devotion? This year, let’s make Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 not just traditional but also healthy with pure cold-pressed oils.

Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 Dates and Significance

Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 begins on August 27, 2025, and will last for 10 days, concluding with Ganesh Visarjan on September 6, 2025.The festival marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and prosperity.

Why Food Plays a Big Role in Ganesh Chaturthi

Every offering to Lord Ganesha is a symbol of love and devotion. Modaks (especially steamed ukadiche modak) are considered Ganesha’s favorite sweet. Along with modaks, households prepare puran poli, laddus, and a variety of fried snacks.

However, most festive recipes involve frying or roasting, and that’s where oil quality matters the most.

Hidden Harm in Regular Cooking Oils

Did you know many regular cooking oils are refined using chemicals and high heat, which strips them of nutrients and adds harmful trans fats? These oils:

• Increase cholesterol and inflammation

• Contain chemical residues

• Destroy natural antioxidants

Using these for festive cooking can harm your family’s health in the long run.
