Afzal and Muskan, who participated in the auction, said that when they heard that the Vigneshwara Ganesh Mandali was organizing a “laddus auction,” they decided to participate and prepared special laddus for the occasion.

Their laddu was not the traditional round-shaped laddu that we often know, but a replica of Lord Ganesha. The couple was happy that their ‘Laddu’ was sold for the maximum bid at the auction, fetching them a princely price of Rupees 13,216.
