Political Palate: Rahul Gandhi Tries His Hand at Imarti and Laddoo Making at Legendary Ghantewala
New Delhi : In a sweet diversion from the political arena, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was recently spotted immersed in the centuries-old tradition of Indian sweets making at Ghantewala Sweets in Old Delhi. The historic establishment, whose legacy stretches back generations, served as the backdrop for Gandhi’s culinary efforts, which he shared with his followers on Facebook.
Gandhi posted about his experience, noting he “recently tried my hand at making imarti and besan laddoo” at the legendary shop. His post was not just a comment on the confectionery, but also a reflection on tradition and community.
”Even today, its sweetness remains the same – authentic, traditional, and deeply heartwarming,” he wrote, praising Ghantewala’s enduring quality.
The visit, timed just ahead of the Diwali festival, led Gandhi to draw a connection between the festive treats and the essence of the celebration itself.
”After all, the true flavor of Diwali isn’t found only in the sweets we serve, but also in our relationships and the joy we spread within our communities,” he concluded.
Gandhi used the opportunity to engage his audience, asking, “How are you celebrating Diwali this year, and what are you doing to make it truly special?”
The post, which quickly garnered attention, highlights a softer side of the political leader and underscores the significance of cultural heritage and community bonds during the festive season.
