Maharashtrians celebrate their festivals with characteristic fervour and food forms an integral part of the celebrations.
Special sweetmeats are identified with particular festivals:
Diwali
Diwali inspires a variety mouth-watering preparations like karanji, chakli, kadboli, anarsa, shankarpali and ladoos, consumed in Maharashtrian households by children and adults alike.
Ganesh Chaturthi
The most delectable offerings during Ganesh Chaturthi are modaks, small rice or wheat flour dumplings stuffed with coconut and jaggery. They are best when served with shudh ghee.
Holi
On this spring festival day, people enjoy a puran poli, a sweet, stuffed chappati made of channa dal and refined flour (maida), served warm with clarified butter or a bowl of milk.
Other delicacies prepared exclusively for festival days are shrikand, motichur ladoo, basundi and kheer.
