#Ghewar is a Rajasthani dessert that is traditionally served during the months of Shravan on occasions of Teej & Raksha Bandhan. It is usually made using ghee, flour & sugar syrup. This sweet is also popular in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh.

Coming to this gold ghewar, it has been prepared by Braj Rasayan Misthan Bhandar near Agra's Shah Market. Numerous customers have been visiting the shop after the display.

A video was shared on Twitter that revealed the size & shape of the royal sweet dish. It shows the dish being prepared in different sizes and encased in a special red box for customers to appreciate. The video also showed the medium-sized ghewar being sold at Rs. 1,000 per piece.

Ghewar is available in multiple varieties including mawa and malai, besides plain ghewar. In an apparent gold-rush frenzy, a cafe in Hyderabad, Huber & Holly, started selling ice cream with 24k gold topping.
