"We have launched 'gold ghari' this year. It is healthy. Gold is considered a beneficial metal in Ayurveda. It has been three days since its launch. Demand is a little below expectation as market is sluggish. We hope it will get good response in the coming days," he added.

Chandani Padva or Chandi Padvo is an occasion when Surat residents enjoy a popular local variety of sweet Ghari, Bhushu.
