In a remarkable demonstration of devotion and tradition, a sweet shop in Kolkata`s Bhawanipore area has crafted a massive 500-kilogramme (kg) laddu to mark the Ganeshotsav 2024 festivities.

Priyanka Malik, the owner of the historic sweet shop Balaram Mullick and Radharaman Mullick, expressed her enthusiasm about the creation in an interview with ANI. She said, "Our festive season begins with Ganesh Chaturthi. This is a very auspicious day for us, and we aim to do something special every year. Our shop is nearly 140 years old, and this year, we have prepared a 500-kg laddu to offer to Lord Ganesh."
