  1. It’s good that you have done some kind of analysis on rasagola. But you are grossly mistaken when you mention that Bengal was given GI tag for Rasgulla – what you don’t know and must realise that Bengal never got a GI tag for Rasagola as a whole as many of the citizens have been misled. In application No 533, made by Food Processing Development Corp under the WB government, it clearly seeks GI registration for a local variant of West Bengal sweet with a name as ‘Banglar Rosogolla’ so that they can at least show something to their state which was tactically advertised in Twitter and other social media. You can go to the HI website and find the reality. I am not trying to further exaggerate a battle, but you must know the facts before you make derogatory statements on other states. I hope the citizens should enjoy all variants of the sweets irrespective of geographical and cultural boundaries. Jai Hind.

  2. Wonderful photographs and coverage about the chhena sweets of Odisha-Rasagola, Chhenapoda & Chhena Gaja.

    “Pahala Odisha Rasagola” isn’t the only variety of Rasagola available in Odisha.
    Apart from Pahala, other places of Odisha are famous for their own Rasagola.
    Do visit Odisha again, and do try from the other places too.
    Will be great to learn about your experience.

    Please Note:
    Bengal was granted GI tag for- “Banglar Rasogolla” – not for Rosogolla.
    Odisha earned the GI tag for- “Odisha Rasagola”.
