New Delhi (India), September 16: Ganesh Chaturthi, one of India's most widely celebrated festivals, is observed with great pomp and splendour in many parts of the country, particularly in Maharashtra. To enhance the festive spirit, a variety of traditional Maharashtrian dishes are associated with this occasion, including various sweet and savoury items such as ladoo, modak, chaklis, puran poli, and more.
