Ghevar
GHEVAR is a disc-shaped sweet made from ghee, flour, and soaked in sugar syrup. It is a unique sweet dish and is characteristic of the festival of Gangaur. Gangaur is dedicated to Parvati and celebrated in the months of March and April during spring season. The women of the household obtain a fast on this day and dress themselves up in festive finery. Meanwhile images of Parvati as Gangaur are kept in the house. On the last day of the festival, a procession is carried out with a statue of Parvati, and women sing songs about Parvati leaving for her husband's house. Following the procession, the fast is broken and the entire family partakes in a rich feast of festive delights including Ghevar.
