The special mithai has been made by Braj Rasayan Mitthan Bhandar near Shah Market in Agra.
Ever since its arrival, people have been thronging the sweet shop to buy the delicacy. 12 kg Golden Ghevar have been sold so far.
How much does it cost, you ask? The golden ghevar costs ₹25,000 per kg as it is topped with a layer of 24-carat gold.
