Agra, Aug 22 (TIWN) Crowds on a shopping spree returned to the markets in Agra while a huge rush of pilgrims to temples in Mathura and Vrindavan brought some cheer back on the festive occasion of 'Raksha Bandhan'.
The sweet shops were swarmed by people buying Ghevar, a delicacy special to Raksha Bandhan, and the month of Sawan when married women visit their parents in the Braj region. "This time of the year two items are in great demand, the sweet Ghevar, and Sewain, noodle-like item that is eaten with ghee and sugar," said Pandit Nandan Shrotriya of the Sri Mathuradheesh temple, famous for its Hindola decorations during the month of Sawan.
