Pendawala Duliram Ratanlal Sharma — Restaurant in Gujarat

History of Duliram Na Penda

#Vadodara: Famous Duliram Penda of Vadodara has maintained the same Test for 160 years. Even Penda’s box hasn’t changed over the years. Duliram Sharma's fifth generation is currently running the business. Duliram Penda's formula is Duliram Sharma who started Penda, which is still a secret today. So people line up to take Duliram's penda at the Rakshabandhan festival. Lord Dufferin came to Vadodara with his wife, Countess of Dufferin, to inaugurate the Countess of Dufferin Hospital (now SSG Hospital) in 1885 during the reign of Maharaja Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad of Vadodara. The Countess of Dufferin loved a dish at the banquet held during this visit. That was Duliram's Penda. He then referred to it as 'chocolate'. They packed it to take with them to England. This history is also mentioned in the old issue of Sayajivijaya, as well as today's fifth generation heirs of 'Duliram' remember this case with pride. The look and feel of this shop, which has been synonymous with Peda on auspicious occasions for the people of Vadodara for decades, has remained the same for 160 years. Sanjaybhai Mama and Jatinbhai Sharma, members of the same family in the shop in Rawapura, say, "People may not believe it, but in our shop, the peddler, the place for making penda, the seat of 'Seth', the place of worship, the place for placing penda, all the shops started." It has been the same since then. Some of the furniture is also from that era. ' The box is still in the box today and the maker is from the same family. ' "We have kept what our forefathers said," he says. Until about 50 years ago, small wooden crates and boxes made of paper were planted. For taste, he says, the formula is Duliram Sharma's, which is a secret. Not only that, some artisans are from three generations. Work from generation to generation. The people who provide the mash have remained the same for generations. The Countess of Dufferin took the peda, but the pada had to be distributed on the ship during the voyage as the oceanic climate began to affect it. Talking about the history of the shop, Jatinbhai Sharma said, "Duliram came 160 years ago. At that time Maharaja Ganapatrao Gaekwad ruled in Vadodara. Duliram, originally from a small village near Mathura, came to Vadodara at that time due to drought. ' Maharaja Sayajirao was fond of other sweets. So he started a separate dessert department. He liked Duliram's penda. As Peda grew in popularity, Duliram and his successors chose to stay in Vadodara. During his visit to Vadodara State, not only Lord Dufferin but also Prince Edward (1922), Lord Reading (1925) and Lord Linglithago (1937) were given Vadodara sweets on the occasion of the farewell of Maharaja Sayajirao of Vadodara.
