Mohan Ji Mithaiwala

Mohan Ji Mithaiwala is tucked away in Aada Bazar in Jodhpur. This part of the city is old and the lanes are narrow. It’s always full of people, carts, and bikes. We’ve been in this spot for as long as I can remember. The shop isn't modern. It has that old Jodhpur feel to it, with heavy doors and stone walls. We make our sweets the old way. No big machines, just a lot of manual work and patience. It starts early in the morning when the milk arrives. The smell of sugar and ghee is always in the air around here. Aada Bazar is a tight-knit place. Everyone knows everyone else. We don't need to advertise because people know where to find us. They come for weddings, festivals, or just a little treat after a long day of work. We keep our counters full of whatever is in season. Sometimes it’s a bit chaotic when there’s a big festival like Diwali coming up. We stay up late to make sure there's enough for everyone who wants some. It’s hard work, and your back gets tired, but it’s what my family has always done. We don't have a corporate office or a manager. The shop is our office. We handle the money, the cooking, and the cleaning. It’s a practical way to live. We’re just glad to be part of the history of Aada Bazar and Jodhpur.
