Instamart to Deliver Iconic Dagdusheth Temple Modaks to Homes in Mumbai & Pune in 10 Minutes this Ganesh Chaturthi

This Ganesh Chaturthi, Instamart, India’s pioneering quick commerce platform, is bringing one of the most sacred modak prasads in the state straight to the homes of devotees in minutes. In partnership with the Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir, Instamart will make the legendary Dagdusheth Modak Prasad available for delivery in Mumbai and Pune on  27th August.

Recognised as one of India’s most revered Ganpati temples, the Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple in Pune is a spiritual landmark that draws millions of devotees annually. The temple’s modaks are highly sacred prasad offerings, with large quantities presented to the deity. By making this prasad available on Instamart, the platform ensures that devotees who may not be able to visit the temple in person can still partake in the blessings of Bappa. Each box will contain one modak, priced at ₹50, with limited stock available only on August 27. To ensure more devotees can partake in the offering, only one unit per order will be accessible.

Sharing the thought behind this initiative, Arjun Choudhary, VP – Revenue and Growth – Instamart, said “Ganesh Chaturthi is a time of deep devotion across the state, and the Dagdusheth Temple Modaks hold deep significance for devotees during this auspicious period. Every year, lakhs of devotees visit the temple to seek Bappa’s blessings, but we know it isn’t always possible for everyone — whether it’s elderly devotees, those with health challenges, or families who find it difficult to travel through the heavy festive crowds. This initiative allows us to bring the blessings of Dagdusheth Bappa into their homes, ensuring no one misses out on the joy of receiving Bappa’s prasad and blessings.”

 Over the past years, modaks have consistently been among the most searched-for sweets during Ganesh Chaturthi. This year too, Instamart saw a surge in interest, with top trending searches including modak, modak mould, modak peeth, kaju modak, and chocolate modak, with high conversion intent seen for niche queries such as Bhagirathi modak peeth and modak accessories. Alongside prasad essentials like eco-friendly Ganpati idols, coconuts, flowers, and diyas, modaks continue to dominate festive shopping lists — both as a must-have offering and as a fast-growing gifting category.

This year, Instamart has expanded its festive assortment to include 25+ SKUs of modaks, eco-friendly Ganesh idols, prasad blessed at Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir and Shri Siddhivinayak Chandicha Ganpati Mandir, along with a wide variety of all kinds of Puja essentials. By making the iconic Dagdusheth modak available in just 10 minutes, Instamart continues to expand its festive offerings while staying true to what matters most, keeping traditions alive in today’s fast-paced world.
