These photos were taken on a Nokia 6600 in early May 2006. There are a large number of sweet shops on the road between Cuttack & Bhubaneswar. They sell Oriya sweets, mostly Chenapadha (cottage cheese cake), Salepur Rasagolla, a kind of rasagolla from Salepur town (Very different from the Bengalli type), and other sweets. I love eating in these shops and normally stop there everytime we visit my grand mother (maternal) in Cuttack.
