We have carved a niche as one of the most prominent pure Gold & Silver Varakh (foil/leaf) manufacturers in India. The gold & silver varakh is cent percent vegetarian and hence does not offend the rituals of any religion. In the manufacturing process of the vegetarian gold & silver varakh, there is neither human touch nor any animal derived substance are used. This varakh/foil/leaf is widely used in confectionery industry to decorate the sweet and make them suitable for various occasions. The cost of the vegetarian varakh is quite reasonable. Introduction to traditional Gold & Silver Varakh Gold/ Silver foil (leaf), or varakh, as it is generally known in India, adds glitter to Indian sweets, supari, paan, and fruits. It is also used in Ayurvedic medicines and on deities in many Jain temples. The silver-topped sweet is even served as 'prasad' in temples and on auspicious and religious as well as family and social occasions. Varakh is used in flavored syrups as in kesar (saffron) syrup, and also finds use in cosmetics. Do you know whether the varakh (gold and silver foil) used in many Jain temples on the idols and in some religious ceremonies is vegetarian? Do you know how the varakh on your sweets (mithai) is manufactured? As a child I remember always asking for those sweets that had silver foil on them. Even today children as well as adults go for varakh on the sweets. Its popular appeal has a stronger hold on people's mind, increasing the demand and there by it's supply. If people know the source and method of making it, I am sure they will never eat the silver-coated sweets again. If you look beyond the glitter of varakh, into the sheds where it is produced, and at the lives that are sacrificed to make this possible, you would think twice before buying these Silver/Gold Foil. The ox is killed in the abattoirs; its intestines are pulled out and sold immediately to the varakh makers. Old intestine can not be used. Even one day old intestine is too old because it losses its elasticity. The intestines are cut into pieces . The pieces are prepared like books and silver or gold sheets are placed between the each skin paper. Then it is kept into a specially made of leather bag. The ox intestine is hammered to make silver or gold sheet (Varakh) which become part of the sweets. The Silver or Gold varakh bought to the market, not only it is a dirty thing to consume but is very shameful that it is being served in temples . How can a Jain use these Silver or Gold Foil for themselves as well as for there GOD�s ? �Varakh is not derived from animal sources. However, a crucial material of animal origin, ox-gut, is used in its manufacture. This ox-gut is obtained from slaughterhouses. Small thin strips of silver are placed between this Ox-gut and are hammered to produce the glittering foil.� (Source: www.jainworld.com). 100% Pure & Vegetarian Gold & Silver Varakh (Foil/Leaf) Considering all above we have decided to produce this gold and silver varakh (foil/leaf) in a manner that it should not hurt anyone�s religion belief and hence after long and hard researches we have developed state of art process for making gold and silver varakh in 100% pure and vegetarian way.
