Sep 15: This Ganesh Chaturthi, India’s pioneering quick commerce platform, Instamart is bringing prasad from two of India’s most iconic Ganesh temples to its platform, allowing devotees to order offerings such as blessed prasad from Dagdusheth Temple in Mumbai and Pune, and Shri Siddhivinayak Temple across all major metros.
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 through its sellers, devotees who may not be able to visit the temple in person can still partake in the blessings of Bappa. The Dagdusheth prasad box will contain one modak, priced at ₹50. To ensure more devotees can partake in the offering, each customer can order one unit per order. The Shri Siddhivinayak prasad box will contain six besan ladoos, priced at ₹170. Both temple prasad offerings will be available on Instamart until September 18, 2026, subject to availability.
Gautam Swaroop, Chief Business Officer - Instamart, said,
“The festive season is when people turn to Instamart for both the big and small moments of their celebrations, from sweets and festive treats to puja essentials and decorations. Our endeavour is to bring consumers an assortment that is not only convenient, but also relevant to how they celebrate. Bringing prasad from iconic temples like Dagdusheth and Siddhivinayak to Instamart is a meaningful addition to our Ganesh Chaturthi assortment, making it easier for devotees to bring a part of these celebrations home.”
The temple prasad will be part of Instamart’s wider Ganesh Chaturthi assortment, which includes DIY Ganpati kits and 24 varieties of modaks across flavours such as Kesar, Kaju, Mava and Malai, among others.
The offering reflects how quick commerce is increasingly becoming part of festive occasions, extending beyond everyday essentials to more differentiated and occasion-led products. Through Switch, Instamart is looking to bring differentiated products onto the platform, giving customers access to offerings they may not typically associate with quick commerce.
