Chocolate Modak and Chocolate Ganesha for Ganesh Chaturthi 2026

Ganesh Chaturthi 2026 is on Monday, 14 September, and families across India are getting ready to welcome Bappa home. Modaks are Lord Ganesha's favourite sweet, and this year, chocolate modaks are the biggest trend. Instead of the usual fried or steamed modak, more and more people are choosing choco modaks that taste amazing and look beautiful.

Along with chocolate modaks, chocolate Ganesha idols are also becoming very popular. They are handmade, eco friendly, and can be eaten after the puja instead of being washed away. It is a sweet and smart way to celebrate.

Here is a simple guide to chocolate modaks and chocolate Ganesha for Ganesh Chaturthi 2026.

What are chocolate modaks?

Chocolate modaks are sweet treats shaped like the traditional modak but made with chocolate instead of the usual jaggery and coconut filling. They look like modaks on the outside but taste like rich, smooth chocolate on the inside. Some have fillings like saffron, almond, elaichi or crunchy bits.

They are the perfect mix of old and new. The shape keeps the tradition alive, and the chocolate makes it a hit with kids and young people who may not enjoy the old style modak. A box of choco modaks on the puja table looks festive and tastes great.

What is a chocolate Ganesha?

A chocolate Ganesha is a handmade idol of Lord Ganesha made fully from chocolate. It looks just like a regular clay idol but it is made to eat, not to put in water. After the puja is done, the family can break the idol and share the chocolate together. This makes it eco friendly because nothing goes to waste and nothing is washed into rivers or lakes.

Zoroy makes chocolate Ganesha idols in two sizes. The small one is Rs. 750 and the large one is Rs. 3,599. Both are handmade with care and look beautiful on the puja table.

Why are chocolate modaks and chocolate Ganesha trending?

There are a few good reasons why more families are choosing chocolate for Ganesh Chaturthi.

Kids love them. Getting kids to sit through the puja is easier when there is chocolate waiting for them. Choco modaks and chocolate Ganesha idols make the festival fun for the little ones.

Eco friendly. Traditional plaster of Paris idols harm rivers and lakes when they are put in water. A chocolate Ganesha is fully edible. After the puja, you eat it instead of washing it away. Good for the planet and good for the stomach.

Great for gifting. A box of chocolate modaks or a small chocolate Ganesha makes a wonderful gift for family and friends during the festival. It is different from the usual box of sweets and always gets a big smile.

They taste amazing. Good chocolate always wins. When the modak melts in your mouth with a hint of saffron and elaichi, it is a taste you remember.

What flavours do chocolate modaks come in?

Zoroy's Shubh Aarambh Choco Modak Box has 8 pieces in two flavours.

• Saffron Almond Elaichi: a rich, warm flavour with real saffron, crunchy almond bits and a touch of elaichi. This one feels very traditional and festive.
• Milk Choco Crunch: smooth milk chocolate with a crunchy inside. Sweet, fun and loved by kids and adults both.

The box costs Rs. 495, which makes it easy on the pocket and perfect for gifting or for your own puja table.

Can you use chocolate modaks as prasad?

Yes, you can. Many families now offer chocolate modaks as prasad during the Ganesh Chaturthi puja. Lord Ganesha is known for loving sweets, and a chocolate modak is a sweet treat made with love. After the puja, the family shares the prasad and everyone enjoys the chocolate. It is a lovely way to end the prayer with a smile.

If you want to keep it traditional, you can offer regular modaks for the puja and keep the chocolate ones for sharing with guests and kids after.
