This page collects all three. Sweets include mysore pak both soft and crisp, soan papdi, besan and sesame laddu, Tirunelveli halwa, date halwa and gulab jamun in tins. Savouries include mullu murukku, thenkuzhal, thattai, seedai, om podi, madras mixture and Chitale chivda. On the pooja side there is camphor, agarbatti, cup sambrani, cotton and lotus stem wicks, kumkum, turmeric and lamp oil. Festive boxes combine sweets and savouries in one pack, ready to give.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sweet box and a savoury box together is the standard Diwali order, and either of our larger boxes clears free delivery on its own.
