Saffron, known for its vibrant colour and aromatic flavour, holds special significance in Hindu culture and rituals. It represents purity, auspiciousness, and devotion, making it a fitting choice for offerings to Lord Ganesha. As we all know, Lord Ganesha is famously fond of sweets, and devotees often prepare Saffron Shrikhand, which is creamy and delicious. Also, Ganesh Chaturthi falls in the monsoon season in India, which is characterized by humidity and warmth. Saffron Shrikhand’s cooling properties, thanks to the yoghurt, provide a refreshing and soothing dessert for devotees celebrating amidst the sometimes challenging weather conditions.
