Diwali sweets

As we spend some wonderful moments in the company of our loved ones during festive season, Diwali too fills some sweet memories to foster all our lives. It is the day when we refresh some close relationships in our lives. Together they perform the prayer rituals and ask for happiness to enter in each other's lives.

Any such occasion in India is incomplete without sweets, be it Raksha Bandhan, Christmas, Holi, Eid or Dussehra. All these festivals have their own special sweets and delicacies. For instance, on the eve of Dushehra Indians prefer to have Jalebis and for Eid, Sewaiyans are the most loved sweet dish. Not just these sweets are a part of festive food, but are offered to Gods and Goddesses as 'Naivedyam' and later distributed among the devotees.

Diwali is probably the only Indian festival when all kinds of diwali sweets are available in the market. Shops are gushing with sweets like Mewa Pinni, Mewa Burfi, Soan Papadi, Ras Malai, Besan Laddu, gulabjamun, Rasagulla, motichoor Laddu, and so many more to select from. These relishing sweets come in very attractive gift hampers that make them all the more irresistible. But due to various health problems many people cannot enjoy the festive season fully. Nowadays sweet shops have sweets for them too. These sweets are made up of zero calories sugar. So, now there is no need to hold back to the pleasures of life.

Despite numerous festivals sweets offered by the sweet shop keepers like Kaju Katli and Soan Papadi are most preferred and loved by people. Motichoor Laddu because of having a religious importance (it is the favorite sweet of Lord Ganesha) and it's mouth watering taste is loved by all. Lately, chocolates have become a rage and are widely bought as gifts during Diwali.

Sweets are not only bought but are also prepared by womenfolk at home. This adds to the warmth of love they hold in their hearts for their family and friends.
