5-kg Ganesh laddu fetches ₹1.01 crore at Hyderabad’s Keerthi Richmond Villas, funds to support charity
A 5-kg Ganesh laddu at Keerthi Richmond Villas in Hyderabad’s Bandlaguda Jagir fetched ₹1.01 crore at an auction this year, with a group of villa owners coming together to bid for and purchase the laddu.
The auction was held two days earlier than the usual final day of Ganesh Chaturthi this year. The auction amount this year was lower than the ₹2.32 crore fetched by the laddu at the same community in 2025, when the laddu weighed 10 kg.
