Devotion to Lord Ganesha reached a new high with Tapeswaram-based sweet firm Sri Bhaktanjaneya Suruchi Foods bidding to create a new Guinness World Record by making the largest individual laddu for a 78-foot tall idol at Gajuwaka.
The gigantic laddu weighs 29.465 kilograms and costs a whopping Rs 50 lakh.
The laddu, made by a 20-member team, was placed in front of the idol on Sunday. The previous record was an 11.115-kilogram laddu made by Arasuri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust in Ambaji, Gujarat, in September last year.
The laddu is comprised of 45 per cent sugar, 23 per cent besan, 27 per cent ghee and five per cent dry fruits. The entire process of making it took about 20 hours.
