Makar Sankrantiମକର ସଂକ୍ରାନ୍ତି

Order ahead

Makar Sankranti is the winter harvest festival, and in Koraput it is a til-and-jaggery day. Through the week around it, Bidhan makes extra dry sweets and laddu at both counters, because that is what households buy to carry between houses. Order boxes two days ahead; the counter is busiest from 7:00 AM on the day itself.
