Hyderabad Sets a New Record with ₹1.87 Crore Ganesh Laddu Auction
Hyderabad September 17
Hyderabad, known for its grand Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, witnessed a historic moment as a Ganesh laddu was auctioned for an unprecedented ₹1.87 crores. The auction, held at Keerthi Richmond Villas under the Bandlaguda Jagir Municipal Corporation, set a new all-time high for such events in the city.
The auction of the laddu, a symbolic offering often regarded as a blessing, attracted immense attention from devotees and local residents. Every year, the auctioning of these laddus draws keen bidders, with the belief that the winning laddu brings prosperity and good fortune. However, this year’s event surpassed all expectations, setting a record that reflects both the devotion and the festive spirit of the city.
The laddu, typically a large and beautifully crafted sweet, plays a central role in Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations across Hyderabad. It is offered to Lord Ganesha during the festivities and later auctioned off, with the proceeds often going toward community development or charity.
Though the auction concluded with the staggering ₹1.87 crore bid, the identity of the devotee who won the laddu remains undisclosed. The community eagerly awaits more details about the lucky bidder, whose generous contribution has not only made headlines but also added to the rich cultural heritage of Hyderabad’s Ganesh Utsav traditions.
This record-breaking auction underscores the city’s strong devotional fervor and the special place Ganesh Chaturthi holds in the hearts of Hyderabadis.
