Jaipur’s Rs 1.23 Lakh Per Kg Diwali Sweet Grabs Attention, One Piece Costs Rs 1,111

As Diwali celebrations light up the country, an exclusive and expensive sweet in Rajasthan’s capital, Jaipur, has become the talk of the town. Named ‘Tyohar Asharfi’, this royal delicacy is attracting attention for its extraordinary price, with a single piece costing Rs 1,111. The price of one kilogram of the sweet is approximately Rs 1,23,444.

Resembling an antique gold coin, Tyohar Asharfi is prepared using almond paste, Kashmiri saffron, gold and 24-carat edible gold foil. A box containing nine pieces is priced at Rs 9,999. The premium sweet has become a popular attraction among customers looking for exclusive gifts for VIPs and corporate associates during the festive season.

Inspired by Royal Traditions

According to CA Anjali Jain, the founder of the outlet, the idea behind creating this unique sweet was inspired by the tradition of kings and royal families gifting gold Asharfis in earlier times.

She claimed that the gold used in the preparation of the sweet is safe for consumption as per Ayurvedic standards.

Apart from Tyohar Asharfi, another premium delicacy named ‘Swarn Prasadam’ has also been introduced. It is priced at Rs 1.11 lakh per kilogram, making it another exclusive offering for Diwali celebrations.

Navratna and Firecracker-Shaped Sweets Steal the Show

Adding to the festive attraction, the outlet has also introduced ‘Navratna Mithai’, inspired by Jaipur’s identity as a city associated with precious gemstones.

Firecracker-shaped sweets are another major attraction among customers, adding a creative touch to Diwali celebrations.

Since gold and silver are used in preparing these premium delicacies, strict security arrangements are reportedly maintained during the production process. According to Anjali Jain, the sweets are made without artificial colours, with natural colours and flavours given preference.

Diwali is traditionally associated with exchanging sweets and gifts in India. While homemade laddoos and other traditional delicacies were once the preferred festive gifts, premium sweets made with gold and silver are now adding a luxurious dimension to the celebrations.

With their royal appearance, exclusive ingredients and extraordinary prices, these special sweets have emerged as a major attraction in Jaipur this Diwali.
