Grand Sweets awaits! |
Diwali surpasses Halloween, however, as an occasion for giving out sweets, Collections of brand-name candies wrapped in cellophane are piled high in shops and markets and newspapers brim with ads for Diwali sweets as well as other gifts. I went to a branch of the shop Grand Sweets not too far from my B&B to find local confections, with help from Alphonse, who drives me to and from school and other destinations in his auto rickshaw.
We had fun - and samples!

Pistachios, cashews rolled into a nougat. |
Grand Sweets and high spirits.
Boxing sweets ahead of the holiday.
