Hayagreeva / Hayagriva muddy is an authentic sweet from Karnataka. This is done on special occasions and can be done very easily. There was a store behind this dish which is older then 500 years ago..
According to mythology great devotee named Daivajña Brahmin community was casting an idol of Lord Gaṇapati, when it shaped itself in the image of Lord Hayagriva. Sarvabhauma Sri Vadiraja Guru Swamiji had a dream about this legend which inspired him to approach that devotee and take the idol from him in reverence. He then installed it in Shri Sode Vadiraja Mutt. Since then it has been worshipped there as the originating god of the Daivajnya Brahmin community.
The sweet dish prepared using bengal gram and jaggery was offered as "naivdyam" to God daily, which is followed even today in Sode vadiraja matt., Hence the dish got the name as "hayagreeva" or "hayagriva maddi".
