The beautiful sugar figurines of India are prepared for Sankranthi<\/a> and during Dasera-Deepavali festival season. They are Pooja<\/a> ornaments, and also sweeten the saare<\/em> (gifts) in functions like marriages and baby-shower etc. These delightful, melt in mouth treats are prepared by pouring the pure and concentrated sugar syrup into carved wooden molds<\/a>. Little bit of care and patience, viola, the tiny decorative candy items are ready to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The sugar figurines photographed here came all the way from India… survived the tiresome travel conditions halfway across the globe. Thank you dear Janani<\/a> for sending these delectable delicate delights for us.<\/p>\n
