Tomorrow is Ganesh Chaturthi.
We offer modak to God Ganesh.
But why God Ganesh loves modak ??
Once God Shiva, Goddess Parvati and Bal Ganesh visited Anasuya , wife of sage Atri.
Anasuya had prepared a lot of dishes for the guests.
Everyone were hungry.
But Anasuya insisted that only after Ganesh's hunger is satisfied, she would serve others.
Ganesh started eating and almost finished the entire food !!!!
Still he was hungry.
So, Anasuya prepared a dish using rice flour, jaggery, coconut and ghee.
She offered this special dish to God Ganesh.
God Ganesh after eating that dish , immediately felt full and got satisfied.
This sweet is none other than MODAK !!!
