A newly launched Diwali confection called ‘Tyohar Asharfi’ in Jaipur is priced at Rs 1,111 for a 9‑gram piece shaped like a gold coin.
Jaipur’s sweet makers have introduced a limited‑edition confection named “Tyohar Asharfi” ahead of the Diwali celebrations. The treat is crafted to resemble a gold coin, appealing to festive shoppers looking for novelty.
Each piece weighs 9 grams and is presented in a glossy, metallic‑hued coating that mimics the appearance of a real coin. The design is intended to evoke the traditional practice of gifting gold during the festival.
The retailer has set the price at Rs 1,111 per piece, a figure that reflects both the premium ingredients and the novelty packaging. While the sweet contains no actual gold, its coin‑like look and festive branding have generated considerable buzz on social media.
Early buyers in Jaipur’s market lanes report that the sweet’s texture is soft and the flavor blends typical Indian mithai notes with a subtle caramel finish, justifying its higher price tag for many festive shoppers.
