Ganesh Chaturthi: Man Invents ATM Which Gives Out Modaks! WATCH By Karan Nanda 20 Sep 2018 | Updated On 20 Sep 2018 11:09 IST in Entertainment News New Update Advertisment Hindus are currently busy in celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, which marks the birth of Lord Ganesha. It is a 10-day festival which celebrated across India. During these period, Bappa, as he is lovingly called, is brought into almost every Hindu household.. The idols are then immersed in water on Anant Chaturdashi. This year, many of Ganesha’s worshippers have been coming up with innovative ways to honour the Hindu deity. Be it your environment-friendly Ganesha idols, or ones made out of Belgian chocolates. But, there is one person which is getting all the praise for his innovation. A man from Pune, Maharashtra, has actually invented an ATM which gives out modaks — considered to be Lord Ganesha’s favourite sweet. The inventor, Sanjiv Kulkarni, has designed the ATM, or ‘Any Time Modak’ to vend packed modaks every time a unique card is swiped. #WATCH: An ATM (Any Time Modak) Ganesha has been installed in Sahakar Nagar, Pune for #GaneshChaturthi celebrations. #Maharashtra pic.twitter.com/GA2TVOgZKw— ANI (@ANI) September 17, 2018 Advertisment Innovative #ATM just got new meaning Any time #Modak!!#Pune #Maharashtra #GanpatiBappaMorya https://t.co/WEH86Xvhui— shailesh karle (@shaileshkarle) September 18, 2018 Advertisment Wow..
