Hindusthan Sweets recently completed 75 years of its journey in the business.

Nusrat Jahan and Yash Dasgupta visited the famous sweet shop and inaugurated the Pithe Puli Utsav.

The duo has been promoting their upcoming Bengali film Mentaal and they took the opportunity to promote the film at the event too.

Speaking at the event, Nusrat Jahan said “Many do not know but Yash has a sweet tooth. Even I like sweets too. I am so amazed at the wide range of Pithe and Puli on display. Sankranti is incomplete without Pithe and Puli. This is an amazing initiative for those who do not have the time to make these at their homes”.

The Pithe Puli Utsav has been organized since 2004.

The main aim of organizing this festival was to keep alive the age-old traditions of making Pithe and Puli during Sankranti. This festival also aims to engage the young generation in making Pithe and Puli and to keep alive the age-old recipes.

A recipe contest was also organized involving Pithe and Puli. The organizers said that there was a growth in the interest of the people revolving around Pithe and Puli.

Some of the eye-catching Pithe and Puli at the festival were Sonar Pithe, Ram Pithe, Rupor Pithe, 18-inch long Patishapta, and others.

The Ram pithe will be sent to the Ayodhya temple for offering to the gods.

If you are in the mood for some Pithe and Puli, then Hindusthan Sweets is the right destination for you.
