Mumbai Chef Hand-Sculpts 4-Foot, 75-Kg Chocolate Ganesha Idol Without Moulds
Mumbai-based pastry chef Sankesh Bangera crafted a 4-foot-tall, 75-kg Ganesha idol entirely by hand from chocolate over 36 hours across three days. The sculpture was made without using moulds or non-edible internal supports, requiring careful attention to structural balance, weight distribution, and temperature control. Details such as the face, crown, ornaments, and the Mushak were meticulously sculpted, making this a unique and intricate chocolate artwork for Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai.
