Ganesh festival 2025 celebrations in Mumbai soared to a historic milestone as the iconic Nikadwari Lane Sarvajanik Shree Ganeshotsav Mandal, famously known as Girgaoncha Raja, unveiled a record-breaking offering to Lord Ganesha – the world’s biggest modak crafted entirely with traditional Indian ingredients.

Standing 4 feet tall, with a middle width of 3 feet 8 inches and a base width of 2 feet 4 inches, the massive sweet weighs an astonishing 851 kilograms. The spectacular modak was officially registered in the World Book of Records India.

Lovingly prepared with precision and devotion, the colossal creation was made from authentic ingredients such as besan (gram flour), desi ghee, sugar, and elaichi (cardamom). Organisers emphasised that beyond its size, the offering symbolised a deep connection to Maharashtra’s culinary and cultural heritage, beautifully blending spirituality with craftsmanship.
