Is there anyone who can resist a modak?

The system created for Ganesh Chaturthi features a Ganesh idol installed inside an ATM machine.

Sharing details about his creation, Sanjiv Kulkarni said, 'It is ATM-Any Time Modak. You'll get a modak through this ATM on inserting a special card. It was an attempt to move forward with technology and culture together.'

ATM dispenses modak

The machine is built in a way that one needs to insert a card made especially by Kulkarni to get the prasad in form of a modak.

Instead of numbers, the machine's keyboard has Sanskrit words like gyaan, dhyaan, samadhan which you can enter to receive the prasad as blessing.
