The rise of 'meetha paan' at weddings in Goa

TASTE OF CULTURE

Rooted in Indian culture, paan symbolises hospitality and celebration — perfect for weddings. The fennel seeds within add freshness and aid digestion, making it both a treat and tradition.

PERSONALISED PAAN DELIGHTS

Paan is available in many varieties — meetha paan (sweet), fruit paan, chocolate paan, etc — offering a customisable treat that can perfectly match a wedding’s theme and guests’ tastes.

PAIRED PERFECTLY TROPICAL FLAVOURS

In Goa’s tropical climate, the cool, refreshing sweetness of meetha paan — complete with coconut and aromatic spices — offers the perfect soothing treat.

PAAN ELEMENTS

Meetha paan, filled with colourful tutti frutti, adds a touch of tradition and nostalgia while creating a vibrant, delicious treat that’s also festive.

STUFFED WITH CELEBRATION

Each leaf is hand-filled with a mix of sweetened coconut, gulkand and colourful tutti frutti. These vibrant fillings not only add flavour, but also reflect the festive spirit of the occasion.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Meetha pan is increasingly stealing the spotlight at Hindu and destination weddings across Goa, and it is practically an art to prepare hundreds of them for a wedding.

PAAN GETS TRENDY

Once seen as old-fashioned, meetha pan is now a trending treat on Goan wedding menus, and it is common to even find live paan stations where guests get to have custom fillings.
