Everything You Need for Ganesh Chaturthi 2025: Modaks, Sarees, Puja Samagri & More

From modaks to puja thalis—here’s everything you need to welcome Bappa in 2025.

India's one of the favorite festivals, Ganesh Chaturthi, is around the corner. It has its origin in Maharashtra. It is the time of year when homes and communities are full of godliness, merriment, and heritage. The celebrations begin on August 27 and proceed to September 6 with major visarjan activities in 2025.  The rhythmic sound of dhol-tasha to the sweet aroma of freshly made modaks, every single detail of this festival is full of love and respect for lord Ganesha. The preparation of such an event is not merely the vista of rituals but also the creation of the entire event that binds family, food, tradition, and religion together.

Regardless of whether you are doing a devout Ganesh Sthapana at home, preparing bhog with all the traditional Indian sweets, or buying new sarees and presents for family or friends, all of this is important. To make your celebrations convenient yet meaningful, you can find a list of what you should get to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 - puja samagri, modaks, sarees, and more.

Puja Samagri and Ganesha Idols

Inviting Lord Ganesha home is a holy occasion that requires the proper samagri and an idol that should be filled with devotion and purity.


 

• Eco-friendly Clay (Mitti) Ganesh Idol – Opt for an idol with a lotus design and composed of pure natural clay. It is a sign of Modesty, devotion, and environmental friendliness- washing away elegantly during visarjan.

• Brass Pooja Thali Set – A thali with separations to hold diya, kumkum, and incense ( agarbatti) provides an elegant and more finished appearance to your worship space.

• Incense/Burner – A brass burner or loban holder will give a soothing aroma to your Aarti, and this helps in increasing the spiritual atmosphere.

• Prasadam – The worship should be wholesome with offerings of fresh fruit, sweets, and modak, more particularly, since this is what Bappa's favorite.

Indian Sweets & Snacks

Ganesh Chaturthi, as much as a festival of devotion, is of course also about flavors. Modaks are the highlight of the festival, but a balanced bhog comprises a combination of sweets and savoury snacks in order to please Bappa and share love.

• Modaks – Steamed or fried, filled with jaggery-coconut, dry fruit, or chocolate- are the most important food to Lord Ganesha.

• Motichoor Laddoos – Traditional sweet laddoos, soft and creamy, are usually sold with modaks.

• Traditional Sweets –  Malpua with khoya/gulkand, rasgullas, kala jamun, pedas, and other indulgent mithai.

• Savory Snacks – Chakli, farsan, and dhokla (saffron-sweetened, usually), among other fried savory snacks, to balance it out.

• Fruits & Dry Fruits – Fresh fruits and nuts complete the bhog platter with natural sweetness and variety.

Tip: Offer a full, wholesome bhog of modak, savoury snacks, and seasonal fruits to make a wholesome festive thali.


Sarees & Gifting Special

Festivals can be described as more than rituals, but how to express ourselves and celebrate with people we love. Wearing traditional attire and sharing mithai during Ganesh Chaturthi are some of the ancient practices to celebrate the occasion and usher in festive joy.


 

• Sarees for the Occasion – Choose red, yellow, or saffron, which are auspicious colors. Conventional Indian handloom sarees like Mysore silk, Kanjeevaram, Banarasi, Chanderi, and Maheshwari are very elegant, whereas some embroidered decorative designs like lotus, peacocks, and Ganesha make it festive.

• Gifting Mithai Sets – Share togetherness by sending boxes of sweets or personalised hampers. Gift candy peda, modaks, laddoos, or dry fruit bars to family, friends, and neighbors.

Why it matters: A saree is a good choice of clothing to wear at such a divine occasion, and mithai will bring delight and also help connect people through love and communal spirit.
 

Final Thoughts

Ganesh Chaturthi is not just a festival, but a deeply cherished tradition of grand welcome of Bappa in every possible way to celebrate devotion, life, and togetherness. Whether it is picking an ethically-sourced idol or a full puja samagri package, making a bhog platter of modaks, laddoos, and other festival snacks, and making sure the lady folk are in their most auspicious sarees, and sending sweets boxes to loved ones, every detail brings in the significance and celebration to the festival.

Now, when you celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi 2025, keep in mind that it is the feelings you have and with which you celebrate it that are important, and the more perfect it all turns out, the less important. It lies in welcoming Bappa with an open heart and rejoicing together with the family and friends.
