The Balish Mishti (Pillow Sweet) from Gayanath Mishtanno Bhandar, located in Netrokona, is a famous delicacy in Bangladesh. This unique sweet derives its name from its large, pillow-like size and shape. Here's a brief overview:

Features of Balish Mishti:

Size and Shape: True to its name, the sweet is shaped like a small pillow, significantly larger than most traditional Bengali sweets.
