Description
Celebrate the sacred warmth of Diwali with the Arogyam Diwali Big Combo Pack—a grand, 7-item artisanal collection brought to you by Past In Present Agro. Rather than relying on commercial festival sweets packed with palm oil, bleached maida, and refined white sugar, this curated hamper honors the time-tested kitchen traditions of rural Maharashtra. Prepared under the direct care of Asha Jadhav Tai in Satara, each savory and sweet element is crafted in small batches using ancient Khapli wheat, native millets (Jowar, Ragi), pure desi ghee, and unrefined Khandsari sugar, all fried or tempered exclusively in our pure wood-pressed groundnut oil. Delivering 10 individual packs (2.25 kg total weight), it brings unadulterated festive bliss, rich nostalgia, and pure health straight to your family table.

Know Your Maker
The soul behind the savory crunch and sweet flakiness of our Arogyam Diwali Faral belongs to Asha Jadhav Tai of Asha Foods in Satara, Maharashtra.
Learned from her mother and mother-in-law, Asha Tai’s recipes are living family treasures that preserve authentic Maharashtrian culinary heritage. Beyond her culinary mastery, Asha Tai’s kitchen enterprise serves as a beacon of rural women’s empowerment, providing steady, dignified employment to over 15 to 20 local women in Satara. Together, they dry-roast grains, hand-roll doughs, slice almonds and cashews, and prepare fragrant spice temperings over slow fires—bringing the authentic warmth of rural Maharashtrian homes directly to your festive celebration.
"Diwali faral is meant to bring blessings and health into the home. When we prepare faral with ancient grains, real nuts, Khandsari sugar, and pure ghani oil, we serve love, health, and tradition to every family."
— Asha Jadhav Tai
