Ghevar is a traditional Rajasthani sweet that is synonymous with Sawan or Teej celebrations in the northern parts of India. The honeycomb-like dessert is typically soaked in sugar syrup and often garnished with khoya, mixed dry fruits, and edible silver foil. Even though ghevar originated in Rajasthan, it has crossed all borders and has made its place across the country and in people’s hearts.
If you are in Chandigarh and don’t know where to find the best-quality ghevar, you’re at the right place. Whether you want the traditional Indian sweet to be a part of your Hariyali Teej celebration or just to have a taste of the crunchy ghevar on a typical rainy day, here’s a list you can rely on.
