Ganesh Chaturthi.

I was formulating a post asking why Ganesh Chaturthi is so popular in Karnataka as it is essentially a Maharashtrian festival when a friend dropped this off. Question answered!

Could someone let me know the names of these goodies? Chakli, Holige, Laddu and ...?

That rava unde really looks like a white modak. Especially with the modakesque tuft. Looks like it was made of rice.

and my version is the Maharashtra version. Jai Maharahstra.
