Ludhiana Bakery Crafts 100 Kg Chocolate Ganesha Idol, Milkshake To Be Distributed To Poor After Visarjan
Thursday, September 5, 2019 IST
The true meaning of festivals is bringing joy and happiness in one’s life, but another important thing to keep in mind is that, while you are enjoying the festival, there are people who do not have enough money for even a meal a day.
This bakery owner from Ludhiana has decided to do something that might just bring joy to people who can't afford extravagant meals. In 2016, a 40-kg Belgian chocolate Ganesha was created by Belfrance - a bakery in Ludhiana - with the noble aim to feed poor kids delicious chocolate milk. And they are back!
In an eco-friendly way of celebrating the festival, a bakery owner in Ludhiana - Harjinder Singh Kukreja - installs Ganesh Idol made of Belgian Chocolate, every year. This year also, an idol made of more than 100 kg of chocolate has been installed by Singh. He also posted a picture of the Ganesh idol on his Twitter handle.
At the time of visarjan, the Ganesha idol will be immersed in the milk and the resulting milkshake will be served to people. He has crafted the Ganesha idol for the fourth consecutive year.
Last year, Singh installed the Ganpati idol which weighed 65 kg, made of pure belgian chocolate and was made by 20 chefs.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a very important Hindu festival that is celebrated across India, especially in Maharashtra, with great devotion. The day is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is the symbol of wisdom, prosperity and good fortune.
