When he came, he said he would make them himself and taste them too. His father, the late Rajiv ji, really liked imarti, so I said, "Sir, you should try that." So he made imarti. He really likes besan laddus too, so I said, "Sir, you can make those as well." So he made these two items" "All of India is talking about him being the most eligible bachelor. I said, "Rahul ji, please get married soon -- we're waiting, so that we can get the order for your wedding sweets too," Sushant Jain said. Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi marked the Diwali festivities by visiting the historic Ghantewala sweet shop in Old Delhi. Sharing his experience on social media, Gandhi revealed that he tried his hand at making Imarti and Besan Laddus. In a post shared on X, Gandhi said, "I tried my hand at making Imarti and Besan Laddus at the famous and historic Ghantewala sweet shop in Old Delhi. The sweetness of this centuries-old prestigious shop remains the same even today - pure, traditional, and heart-touching. The true sweetness of Diwali lies not just in the platter, but also in relationships and society." Gandhi concluded his post with a invitation to the public, asking, "Tell us all, how are you celebrating your Diwali, and how are you making it special?" Diwali is a five-day festival that starts on Dhanteras. On Dhanteras, people buy jewellery or utensils and worship God. The second day is called Naraka Chaturdashi. It is also called Chhoti Diwali or Small Diwali. The third day of Diwali is the main day of the celebrations. People worship Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on this day and offer prayers to bless them with wealth and prosperity. The fourth day of Diwali is devoted to Govardhan Puja. The fifth day is called Bhai Dooj. On this day, sisters pray for their brothers to have long and happy lives by performing the Tika ceremony, and brothers give gifts to their sisters. (ANI)
