New Delhi [India], October 17: It's finally 'that' time of the year! The time when the entire nation seems to pause, breathe in the crisp festive air and unite in the shared spirit of festivities. Diwali, the festival of lights, is more than just a date on the calendar. It's a celebration of connections and bonds. And no Diwali celebration is complete without the quintessential Mithais, that are as much a part of the festival as the lamps themselves.
From traditional ladoos and barfis to modern, fusion creations, exchanging 'mithais' is a ritual in itself, it is an offering of happiness, a tangible expression of goodwill that sweetens relationships and solidifies bonds. For those searching for authentic and high-quality sweets, Delhi-NCR boasts a number of iconic sweet shops.
This Diwali, we feature five such legendary brands that have been sweetening the celebrations for generations.
Bikanervala: A Legacy of Indian Tradition
Originating from humble roots in Bikaner, Rajasthan, two pioneering brothers brought the traditional recipes from their hometown to the bustling streets of Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, setting up the first Bikaner Bhujia Bhandar stall in the 1950s.
What began as a small enterprise focused on authentic namkeen and bhujia has blossomed into an internationally recognized sweet emporium, perfecting the art of mithai- making over the generations, blending traditional regional flavors with modern trends.

Their extensive menu is a celebration of classic Indian mithai, featuring all-time favorites that include the melt-in-the-mouth texture of Kaju Katli, the richness of Badam Burfi, and the nutty delight of Pista Lauj.
For the festival of lights, Diwali, Bikanervala has curated an experience of collective joy. The 'Bikanervala Mix Sweets-Diwali Special' box is a signature offering designed for the season.
