Patna. Nowadays people run after their name. Don’t know how many rupees they get publicity done to make the name shine. But there is one such shop in Patna which does not have any name. It is so famous that people have been relishing the sweets here for many years. There is no difference in taste in the shop which is running for five generations. Peda, Sponge and Gulab Jamun are very famous. Shop owner Mohan ji says that this shop is 125 years old. Here all the family members from the artisan to the owner are there. Mohan ji believes that this shop has tied the family together. If you want to taste the sweets made by their shop, then you have to come to the Radha Krishna temple near Bihari Mills on Ashok Rajpath.
believe in quality
Purely prepared delicious sweets are available in Mohanji’s shop. Customers who came to buy sweets for many years told that they have been coming to buy sweets from here for decades. But till now I have not felt any difference in the quality of taste. Perhaps this is the reason why the stock in this shop gets over very quickly. Yashwant Kumar, who was weighing the sweets, told that he believes in quality and not in quantity. That’s why they make and sell fresh sweets.

Near Patna Ghat, near Bihari Mills on Ashok Rajpath, Mohan ji’s tree and sweets shop is located adjacent to Radha Krishna temple, let us tell you that this is not a common shop but a historical shop.

shop without fan
The specialty of this shop is that you can see sweets made from milk and dry fruits right in front of your eyes. However, even in this era of modernity, there is no fan in this shop. Could not get a clear answer on asking the reason. But it was told by the shop owner in gestures that in the beginning there was no need for a fan because of the straw and thatch roof.
Due to this reason fan was not installed till today, now all their bodies have been adjusted without fan.
