We have heard sweets with silver foil and paan with silver foil. But to make this Rakhi festival special, one shop by name Prince Mithai Wala in Gujarat has used gold for the foil. He has made dry fruit sweet covered with gold foil and it is costing Rs 9000 per kg .It is reported that there is a huge demand for this gold sweet and now people can eat gold foil in place of silver foil. It is good for health, people say.
In olden days kings used gold plates and silver plates and that idea of was that gold and silver also go into our body and the health becomes stronger. Later silver was added to the sweets and pan. Now Gold is being used as a foil.
People are going to Prince Mithaiwala, just to see this sweet wrapped in the gold foil. Some brothers are gifting this sweet to the sisters. Even Rakhi is also made in gold this time in several states. Gujarat is famous for silver and Gold Rakhis.
24 carat Gold is being used for the foil. Bits of Gold is hit into very thin sheets and it is wrapped around the sweets. It is easily edible and digested also. People in Surat are also using diamond studded Rakhis. Surat is famous for diamond polishing.
In Telangana, sisters are presenting Helmets for brothers along with Rakhi and the call was given by TRS MP Kavitha.
