Rupanshu Chowdhary / Hazaribagh. Every city has its own identity, whether it is regional art or its own food.

Also you will get 2 Balushahi for Rs.15.
Neeraj Kumar Gupta, the director of Kamlesh Sweets in this market, says that about 60 years ago, King Kamakhya Narayan Singh of Padma state once organized a competition among local artists, sculptors, cooks, at that time by his grandfather Hari Sav. Balushahi was built. Since then the king of Padma also became crazy about this Balushahi and also promoted it fiercely.
All the secrets are hidden in the water
Neeraj Gupta further explains that the sandalwood here is different from other places. The main reason for this is the water here. Sugar syrup is made from the ground water here and flour is prepared by kneading it. Which enhances its taste. The artisans who make Balushahi in this market, even if they go outside and make Balushahi, still they are not able to match such taste.
