Bengali Sweet Chanar Sondesh | History Of Food | HT Lifestyle

Bengalis love their Sondesh! It is no news that you get the best sweet dishes in Bengal. Chaahe Roshogulla ho ya Misti Doi, inki jitni taarif karo utni kam hain. There is a huge variety of sweets there and among those, Sondesh is widely popular. Sondesh or Sandesh means message. For ages, this sweet is used as a gift carrying ‘shubh sandesh’ meaning good news. With such a cultural history, we must take pride that it originated in Bengal. Let’s see how it originated and got popularized.

A Memorable Kolkata Tour Package

Ever been to the City of Joy? If not, then you are really missing out on a fun travel opportunity that will leave you with a plethora of unforgettable memories. Recently, I booked a Kolkata tour package and I gotta admit that it was one of the best travel decisions I’ve ever made!

I went through various platforms online to choose the one offering the lowest airfares. After I found the perfect option that fit my budget for my Delhi to Kolkata flight, I was ready to embark on a thrilling excursion. Here’s how it unfolded!

Visiting Shantiniketan for an Intellectually-Stimulating Experience

As a Literature student, I had to start my tour with a visit to the literary and artistic treasure house — the Vishwa Bharati University Campus at Shantiniketan. The place is home to China Bhawan — a place that houses a variety of books, archives, and manuscripts essential to the world of literature. It also has Kala Bhawan — a place preserving stunning art and paintings and Bichitra — a museum plus research center that exhibits the personal items and artwork of Rabindranath Tagore. Needless to say, visiting Shantiniketan was the perfect start to my Kolkata tour!

Exploring Kolkata’s Rich History

Any Kolkata city tour package is incomplete without a Hooghly tour. I made the most of my trip by heading to 3 of the most culturally rich locations in Kolkata — Bansberia, Chandannagar, and Hooghly. At Bansberia, I got the chance to explore glorious sites that exuded divinity — Ananta Vasudeva and Hangseswari temples. I also went to the Bandel Church at Hooghly Chinsurah and Hooghly Imambara which offered wonderful insights into the city’s rich cultural heritage. Finally, I ended the day by visiting the scenic riverside of Chandannagar Strand and found peace in the beautiful sight of the majestic Ganga.

A Culinary Adventure On the Streets of Kolkata

All the money I saved with cheap air tickets and attractive flight offers was spent correctly during my food walk and shopping spree in the streets of Kolkata. From the iconic chaat and kathi roll to the mango fritters and prawn cutlets of College Street, every dish I tried took me on a gastronomic roller coaster ride. I even explored the old sweet shops of the city to introduce my tastebuds to the magical taste of shondesh, rasgulla, and mishti doi. For my retail therapy, I decided to explore New Market. This Victorian-style arcade is a heritage site in itself. From eatables to clothes and footwear, it offers everything in its 200+ stalls. Quite evidently, it was the perfect place to end my tour and I came back home not only with a bag full of memories but also with heaps of souvenirs I bought from this amazing market!

If reading about my experience stimulated the travel bug in you, do not wait any longer! Browse the various holiday tour packages for Kolkata available online and book the one that suits you. You can also look for platforms offering dependable online flight booking options to make your travel planning seamless.

Shondesh, a quintessential Bengali confectionery, is much more than a sweet treat; it is a symbol of culture, tradition, and culinary artistry that has been cherished for centuries. Originating from the Bengal region, which spans parts of present-day Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, Shondesh is renowned for its delicate flavor, intricate textures, and the love with which it is crafted.
