Holi and gujiyas are so synonymous to each other that one cannot start the festival of colours without the devouring of the latter.

The strengthening of familial bonds is most especially sparked the moment you exchange gujiyas as gifts or offer the same to your guests. These sweet crisp treats, that engulf the richness of khoya along with dry fruit stuffing inside, act as a connecting link between relationships.

So, this Holi, we're bringing to you one of Lucknow's most authentic and finest mithai/namkeen brands — Alpahaar — from where you can score absolutely delish yet healthy gujiyas!

Besides the generic and mouth-watering gujiyas, Alpahaar's special gujiyas are specifically healthy. These glaced treats comprise dry fruits, all kinds of seeds including sunflower seeds, lots of berries, replacing the conventional khoya. They are also honey-brushed, thus, blessing you with natural sweeteners.

Alpahaar mithai will melt in your mouth and feel like you're gorging on treats made right at home. Moreover, they're hygienic, rich, and scrumptious!

Prepared by a well-trained and skilled all-women staff, Alpahaar in Lucknow has also come up with pretty and all-inclusive Holi hampers. Served in a cute packaging, they have everything pertaining to the festival — herbal colours, Holika Dahan samagri, among other Holi-related paraphernalia.

Alpahaar, as the word goes, implies 'nashta' and has been serving snacks to Lucknow's foodies for more than a decade. The crowd-favourite place is especially popular for its laddoos and bite-sized samosas.

Started 16 years ago, Alpahaar is a famed and fast-growing namkeen corner or halwai shop. The support the brand has extended to women workers is unparalleled and celebrated.

Coming at the most affordable rates, you can also bank upon Alpahaar Gharelu Mahila Udhyog for delicious achaar, bati chowka, papad, namak paare, kachori, and other namkeen.

The women-led and women-centric brand also celebrates exactly that — the power of women all over the country. And now with International Women's Day closing in, we see no other label you should choose for shopping your sweets from during this season of festivities!
