There’s a special charm in winter across Maharashtra, the season when farms turn golden-green, fires crackle under open skies, and the aroma of roasted jowar fills the air. If you’re looking to celebrate this rustic magic, nothing beats joining a hurda party in Pune, where fresh green jowar is roasted over embers and served with chutneys, jaggery, and endless laughter.
Hurda isn’t just a snack, it’s a tradition. Fresh jowar (sorghum) stalks are harvested before ripening, roasted gently, and shared in the company of friends and family. The tender kernels pop with sweetness, symbolizing the bounty of the winter harvest.
Beyond the food, a hurda party brings people together to enjoy:
It’s a wholesome countryside experience - simple, earthy, and full of warmth.
If you want an authentic farm experience with the comforts of a clean, well-managed setup, Aroha Srushti tops the list.
