About Gangaram Amarchand Halwai, Ajmer

Keeping up with sweet traditions since 1898

There are few who dream, few who persevere, few who succeed, and very few who stay successful. Gangaram Amarchand Halwai is among the rare breed of Indian sweet-makers who have consistently pleased the palates of customers.The business, established by Gangaram Guman Puria in 1898, is currently run by the family’s fifth generation – Puria’s grandson Jawarilal Bansal. However it was Puria’s great grandfather who had sown the foundation seed.

In this day and age, gaining people’s trust while staying true to one’s roots, especially when it comes to food, is no mean feat. Consistently providing authentic taste for more than 115 years is a commitment few can follow through. And this is the feather in Gangaram Amarchand Halwai’s cap.
