A Journey Through Tradition: The History of Putharekulu

Putharekulu, often referred to as "paper sweet," is a quintessential gem among traditional Indian sweets, originating from the culturally rich state of Andhra Pradesh. The name "Putharekulu" translates to "coated sheets," describing its wafer-thin layers. This delicacy was traditionally prepared in Atreyapuram, a quaint village nestled along the Godavari River, and has now gained national and international acclaim.

The history of Putharekulu is deeply intertwined with the agricultural practices of the region. Women in villages would craft this dessert using locally sourced ingredients such as rice flour, jaggery, and ghee, combining their culinary skills with cultural rituals. Over time, Putharekulu became synonymous with celebrations, festivals, and family gatherings, symbolizing sweetness in relationships and prosperity in life.
