They also prepare them according to demand. Kanha ji used to eat a lot of butter. He used to feed it to his friends. Devotees also offer butter and sugar candy. We are also making and selling boxes of butter and sugar candy. Bharat said that Krishna ji was born at 12 o’clock at night, so even today devotees keep fast throughout the day. All these sweets are eaten during fast. Janmashtami is on Monday, so sweets will be supplied to all places by Sunday. It is important to take care of purity and cleanliness in making fast sweets. Our shop is running since 1910, so it has credibility in the market. In such a situation, any negligence is not acceptable.

Amit Bansal, owner of Thakurji Sweets and Namkeen of Khari Baoli, said that there will be a lot of pressure to make, sell and supply sweets today and tomorrow. Sweets made from milk do not last long.
