Diwali is almost here! You know what that means right? New clothes, gifts, sweets, pretty lights, and gifts of course. While we’re sure you’ve started your shopping (hopefully) for all the Diwali gifting you’re going to be doing, sweets are also important. You can either pick it up from one of the popular sweet shops in Bangalore, or order a box (or few) at one of these places that might be slightly different from the usual.
