History
In Uttarakhand, Arsa is not just a sweet — it's a blessing. Prepared during weddings, housewarmings, and harvest festivals like Harela and Bikhoti, it symbolizes prosperity, warmth, and tradition. Brides often take Arsa as part of their "vidai gifts" to share sweetness in their new home. It is considered <b>"शगुन की मिठाई"</b> — always homemade, rarely store-bought.
