A batasha is a small, round, hollow sweet made from pure sugar syrup that is a staple of Indian religious and festive culture, especially in Hindu rituals. Light, airy, and dissolving almost instantly on the tongue, batashas are often offered at temples, distributed during pujas, and handed out at celebrations. They are the unpretentious, beloved sweets of Indian street culture — no frills, pure sugary joy in a paper cone.
After the puja, the priest handed everyone a small packet of batashas to share with their families at home.
