Petha from Agra is labeled with a Geographical Indication (GI) to confirm its provenance.
The famed city of Agra is known for its Mughal architecture. Still, travelers with a sweet appetite would agree that a vacation to Agra is incomplete without indulging in the city’s practically ubiquitous Petha! When Shah Jahan ruled Agra many years ago, he commissioned his chefs to create a sole sweet as pure plus white as the Taj Mahal. The royal cooks labored tirelessly to create a new creation known as Petha. Ash gourd, too identified as winter melon either white pumpkin, is a critical element of Petha.
It is regarded as the cleanest dessert globally due to its components, which include fruit, sugar, and water. Petha is not cooked over a conventional cooking fire; instead, it is prepared over a coal fire.

Many types of Petha have emerged in the market over time to meet the demand and changing palates of the consumers. Buyers may now select between Kesar petha (saffron), angoori petha (grapes), chocolate petha, paan petha, and other flavors. Petha fans who enjoy coconut and dried fruit may also partake in the delectable treat. Panchhi Petha, Gopaldas, and Munna Lal Petha Wale are the best places in Agra to get real Petha.
Panchhi Petha, in reality, is a game-changer in the Petha manufacturing industry. They have 25 different types of Petha and have locations all around the city!
The Petha manufacturing industry has now become inextricably linked to Agra. So much so that 700 houses in Agra’s Noori Gate region are involved in producing this one-of-a-kind sweetmeat.
