Petha is a very famous sweet candy of North India and Pakistan. Usually rectangular or cylindrical in shape, Petha is made from pieces of ash gourd (also called winter melon, wax gourd or white gourd) that are typically soaked in lime water and then cooked in sugar syrup. The centuries-old soft, chewy and translucent treat comes in several flavours including Saffron, Pineapple, Coconut, Mango, Kewda essence and many variants like Angoori Petha, Kesari Petha etc. If there's something close to the fame and popularity of Taj Mahal in Agra, it has to be Agra's Petha. Known to have originated from the kitchens of Shah Jahan (Mughal emperor) some 360 years back, Petha is one of the two prime attractions (the first being Taj Mahal) that brings thousands of people to Agra.
