Tapeswaram is best known for its sweet delicacy called
Kaja. The place is also famous for making the largest individual laddu. The place is also famous for various other sweets like
Pootharekulu,
Bobbatlu etc.
Tapeswaram Kaja This variant, originating from Tapeshwaram, is also known as
Madatha Kaja. It features a perfectly layered structure, made by rolling the
maida-and-
ghee dough into thin sheets, folding them into diamond shapes, and cutting them into smaller pieces before frying and soaking them in sugar syrup. Unlike the
Gottam Kaja, this version retains sugar syrup within its layers. Although
Madatha Kaja is slightly different from
Tapeswaram Kaja—with the former being drier—it is often conflated with the latter. == Transport ==
