The iconic Khairatabad Ganesh idol in Hyderabad will be offered a 50‑kg laddu sourced from Tapeswaram, Andhra Pradesh, ahead of the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
Organisers of the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festivities in Hyderabad have confirmed that the towering Khairatabad Ganesh will receive a massive 50‑kilogram laddu from the famed sweet‑making town of Tapeswaram in Andhra Pradesh. The laddu, prepared by local confectioners renowned for their traditional recipes, will be transported to the city in the days leading up to the main puja.
Tapeswaram is celebrated across the region for its high‑quality sweets, particularly large laddus that are often earmarked for major temple offerings. The 50‑kg piece will be displayed alongside the idol before being presented as part of the ritual worship.
Offering sizable laddus to Ganesh idols is a long‑standing tradition that symbolizes abundance and devotion, drawing large crowds of devotees who gather to witness the ceremony. The Khairatabad Ganesh, one of the most visited idols in the state, is expected to see a surge in footfall as the laddu offering approaches.
Logistical arrangements, including secure transport and storage, have been coordinated between the Tapeswaram sweet makers and Hyderabad municipal authorities to ensure the laddu reaches the venue safely and in pristine condition.
