Thirunalveli halwa daa Trichy malakota (Swarna) akka senja daaa... Senjuttom illa!!!! The origin of halwa dates back to 1882, when it was sold by walk...on streets. Jagan singh jee was the father of halwa making. After his "walk the halwa" days he opened a small shop in Therunelveli. It was established by a Rajput family about a century ago and still it is run by their descendants ..says the google. The Rajputs are warriors by Darma.... but here in Thirunalveli, they are making halwa. In any case Rajputs have won their battle!! Victory is said to have attained when the opponent surrenders. The people who ate it completely surrendered ... That's their Karma!! The halwa shop, opposite to the historic Nellaiappar temple is now taken care by one Bijli Singh jee after his father Krishna Singh jee. They were all born and brought up in a place called chokampatti in Thirunalveli. The shop is a small 'dimly lit' place, that opens at 5 pm and close...
