I had photographed him a few years back and happy to see him continuing the profession which is very rare in these days; and happy to see he’s having continuous business too.

Javvu Mittai is traditionally so popular where the seller can use the elastic nature of the candy and would make various shapes like wrist-watch and neck chains, etc.
