Til-gur ghya ni ghod ghod bola is the greetings for Holi in Maharashtra.
Lohri ki lakh lakh Vadhiyan is how the Sindhis greet each other on Lohri.
This is a Jaipur Rajasthan style sweet
made specially during Uttarayan / Lohri .
As I live in Mumbai, Maharashtra I have made this special til-gur sweet , but the recipe is a speciality of Jaipur, Rajasthan. It is very soft & mouth melting .
