Chandni Padva...Ghaari, Bhusu...


One of the most unique, and looked forward to is the first day of the 14 day countdown to Diwali... "Chandni Padva" celebrated by Surtis in true Surti "spirits"!! A special sweet called Ghaari is made in tons n tons, and relished on this day alone. Nowhere else would you see people standing in queue's, and literally fighting their way to get Ghaari & Bhusu from their favourite Jamnadas Ghariwala & Ramji Damodar.
"Ghaari" in all its sweet, ghee enriched glory!! Surti's throng the road from Athwa Lines to Dumas, Farmhouses, Terraces, are all venues for family/friends to get together at nite and relish Ghaari/Bhusu under moonlight... Obviously the "spirits" run high too!
