    @Mohan – Updated the post just for u 🙂
    @Neelum: I don’t think the daginey can be saved for more than 2 years.. they are bio-degradable.

    Some tips from the site i posted.
    After care
    Sugar jewellery should be wrapped in butter paper and stored in an airtight plastic bag. It should not be opened during the monsoon season as the sugar melts owing to the moisture and humidity in the air. With proper care, sugar jewellery lasts about one to one-and-a-half years.

    @Sakhi: 🙂 yup. Sugar ornaments.
    In maharashtra it is a bigg function. Young kids and newly married couple are bedekked in these ornaments! 🙂

    Wow.. that is so nice of you to post a link for the detailed info on sugar ornaments!

    Here in Karnataka too, we have the tradition of distributing small toys kind of structures made of Sugar during makar sankranti. These will be in various avatars like gods, shapes etc., This is usually exchanged along with ‘Ellu'(sesame seeds), ‘Bella'(Jaggery) and ‘Kabbu'(Sugarcane).
