Ganesh Utsav in Maharashtra is primarily a household festival that has now evolved into grand community celebration as well. People eagerly wait throughout the year to welcome their beloved Lord home. For them it is the best time of the year when every corner of the region is brimming with joy and euphoria. In today's episode we have come to the residence of the Dhume family to participate in the Ganesh Chaturthi puja and have the prasad.
On arriving there we received a warm welcome from the lovely family. We extended them our greetings and then paid obeisance to the resplendent idol of Lord Ganesha that was perched amidst a beautiful decoration made of flowers and leaves.
Soon we joined Kshama Ji and other ladies of the house to witness the making of some of the components of the prasad. Most of the dishes were prepared well ahead of our arrival as making them together is a chaotic affair. We learnt about the customary ukadiche modak (rice flour dumpling stuffed with coconut-jaggery mixture) and alu vadi (fried slices of gram flour smeared colocasia leaf roll). This is interspersed with mythological anecdotes regarding the same.
Once the food was ready, all the dishes were together offered to the Lord. Then we all gathered for the arati. Next we sat down with the family to enjoy the simple and soulful feast. On our plate we had roti, vararanga bhat (rice and lentil), alu vadi, aluchi bhaji (colocasia leaves based curry with corn cob in it), valachi bhaji (sprouted field bean dish), ukadiche modak and koshimbir (cucumber and fresh coconut salad). Every morsel of this wholesome spread was simply divine, especially the ukadiche modak that is Lord's favourite sweet too.
After this delicious affair we departed for a short food tour with some of our friends. First we visited Bhagwati restaurant in Goregaon for some authentic pav bhaji (bun like bread and a spicy veg curry combo). The pav was soft and drenched in butter while the bhaji too was bright reddish orange with a pool of butter on top. This pav bhaji was just spot on.
Next we visited Aswad restaurant in Dadar to dig into some more Maharashtrian dishes. With a modern cum traditional decor and authentic menu, this place is a huge hit with the locals. Here we tired bhakri (sorghum or rice flour flatbread), pitla (gram flour curry), dalimbi usal (sprouted field bean curry), thalipeeth (multigrain flatbread) and misal pav (sprouted moth curry with bread).
After this we went to our final stop which was Prakash restaurant in Dadar itself. It was brimming with people from all age groups. The interior was old style and the menu had traditional dishes only. Our pick included piyush (shrikhand based drink), matar pattice (peas patties), sabudana vada (tapioca pearl fritters) and masale bhat (spicy aromatic rice). Food was really good and so was the vibe.
Overall it was a busy yet heartening day all because of the festive fervour around.

अनुभवजी आप बहोत लकी हो जो आपको बाप्पा का प्रसाद मिला और गरमा गरम मोदक मिले खाने को, नही तो बाकी युट्युबर्स को सिर्फ मिठाई के दुकान मे मोदक शेप बर्फी मिलती हे मोदक के नाम पे

[@user-lo5tx6fd8v]

अनुभव sir, पाव भाजी के साथ जो लासुन चटनी होती है वो game changer होती है। ये चटनी महाराष्ट्र छोड़ के कही नही मिलने वाली.

[@dsouzadavid80]

Anubhav , you are very lucky to get this authentic Maharashtrian home cooked food . Nobody cooks such delicacy’s much , only some ladies who preserve these culture and fond of cooking and serving make it. My mom used to cook goan festive food and almost 200 people would eat. Now a days because of her age she doesn’t cook.

[@rajitapappu_khosla250]

Such an awesome episode, especially experiencing the Ganesh Chaturthi pooja and festivities in the Maharastrian family's home. The food looked amazing, especially homemade modak. Please keep sharing these family based festival celebrations. You had a similar one during Ramadan that was also awesome. For those of us abroad it is truly a treat to experience through your vlogs

[@mpasmr29]

Jai ho Ganesh bhagwan ki jai 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@SK-of8fm]

Next time do visit Konkan during ganpati festival you will experience the real joy of the festival.

[@rashmidattani3117]

Starting from idol making in previous episode, to 'sthapana', 'puja' nd 'aarti'..🙏 from the traditional 'prasad thali', to the original modak making 'padhati'... from flower manure, to eco friendly disposable plates... The bhaji pav, the traditional maharashtrian food, the 'paithani' saree motifs in artifacts... all reflect the beautiful tradition of Maharashtra... The essence can be felt!

[@pranavrajwadekpcl9693]

Lokmanya Tilak promoted it on public scale and used it as a forum to promote the independence movement. Especially in Konkan region it has been a family centric festival for many centuries.

[@pratikjadhav218]

Saw the Episode as usual it was awesome. Anubhav if you remember after the shoot of this episode you and your friend were going home and we had one pic with my wife . You were so clam, talking with so much respect.Actually it was my first time to meet someone whom I follow so I was little bit shy and blank.I must have helped you in form of offering some good food or some kind of transportation.But at that time I was just observing you...It was just so nice to talking with you.

[@delhifoodwalks]

दादर होटल में डिश में जो beans थे उसे पोपटी कहते है, या वाल के दाने कहते है, उसे रात को भिगो के sprouted करते है फिर उसकी skin निकलते है और उसे grated नारियल के साथ भाजी बनाते है।

Paranjpe had given incorrrct information. Ganesh chaturti is celebrated from ancient time in kokan maharashtra. It is not tilak who started first. Lokmanya tilak motivated people to do sarvajanik (public) ganpati. So, sarvajanik ganpati started in girgaaon chawl first sarvajanik ganpatu. This is kokan festival and it is celebrated from ancient time. It is not started in british era.

Gotta love India.....while the women do the hard work of cooking in the kitchen, the male species sits around explaining what each food means. Festivals in India bring out the worst qualities in Indian male chauvinists
