Hyderabad's gated communities are hosting Ganesh Chaturthi laddu auctions that draw bids reaching lakhs of rupees. A winning bid of ₹21.11 lakh at My Home Mangala in Kondapur by Sambasiva Rao and Naveen tops the season's sales, according to Asianet News. Other major bids include ₹13.66 lakh at Raghupathi County and ₹13.56 lakh at Lansum Etania, with proceeds typically supporting charity and community welfare.
Despite headline-grabbing amounts, organizers say most auctions attract only one or two serious bidders. Around two dozen communities have adopted eco-friendly practices like in-house immersion and waste segregation for composting, according to the Federation of Gated Communities Cyberabad.
My Home Avatar Holds Strong at ₹8.2 Lakh
Real-estate businessman Ravindra Reddy won the My Home Avatar laddu for the third consecutive year at ₹8.2 lakh. The community's auction has followed an unusual pattern. It started at ₹10.65 lakh in its first year, then dropped to ₹8.1 lakh last year and ₹7.51 lakh in 2024 before rebounding slightly this season.
Rajapushpa Eterna Sees Sharp Jump From Growing Community
At Rajapushpa Eterna, the winning bid jumped to ₹1.6 lakh from just ₹30,000 the previous year. An RWA representative credited the increase to new families moving into the relatively young community. Rising resident populations have boosted participation at several properties across Hyderabad.
Lansum Etania Auctions Other Festival Items for Thousands
Beyond the main laddu at ₹13.56 lakh, Lansum Etania held separate auctions for other Ganesh festival items. The kalasham sold for ₹3.3 lakh and the vastram for ₹4.68 lakh, according to the Federation of Gated Communities Cyberabad. This multi-item approach has become common as communities seek to maximize fundraising.
More Auctions Pending as Balapur Sets Record Separately
Auctions at Keerthi Richmond Villas, My Home Bhooja and the traditional Balapur auction remain pending. The Balapur Ganesh Laddu, held separately during Ganesh Visarjan celebrations, set a record price of ₹39 lakh this year, NDTV reported. These pending auctions could still push higher final totals as the season concludes.
