Madurai's Jigarthanda Seeks GI Tag to Protect Authentic Taste

Imagine a delicious, creamy drink called Jigarthanda that's famous in Madurai, India.

It's made with special ingredients like milk, syrup from nannari roots, and almond gum that takes three days to prepare!

This drink is like a cultural symbol for the city.

Now, the people who make Jigarthanda are trying to get an official label called a GI tag.

This tag would mean only drinks made the original way in Madurai can be called Jigarthanda.

It protects the drink's unique taste and history, like a special stamp of approval.
