About us
Shree Ganesh Misthan Bhandar, Chirawa, since 1950.
Our story
Sweets have always been our family's work
Chirawa, a Shekhawati town in Rajasthan, has always been famous for its peda, and many generations of our family have made sweets here. In 1950, Late Shri Ramdhari Ji Halwai founded our shop in the main market as Shree Ganesh Misthan Bhandar, the name it has carried ever since.
Before 1950
Generations of sweet-makers
Long before the shop had its name, our family was already making sweets in Chirawa, one generation after another.
