'''Yes Ghevar''' ([[Devanagari]]:घेवर) is a [[Rajasthani cuisine]] sweet<ref>{{cite web|title=Ghevar: A Delight of Indian Cuisine|url=http://indiacanteen.tastyfix.com/ghevar-a-delight-of-indian-cuisine/|website=Indiacanteen.tastyfix.com|access-date=17 August 2018}}</ref> traditionally associated with the [[Teej]] Festival. Besides Rajasthan, it is also famous in the adjoining states of [[Haryana]], [[Delhi]], [[Gujarat]], western [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] etc.<br />
<br />
It is disc-shaped sweet cake made with [[Maida flour|maida]] (refined wheat flour) and soaked in sugar syrup. There are many varieties of Ghevar, including plain, mawa and [[malai]] ghevar. It is generally prepared in July–August for the [[Teej]] or [[Rakshabandhan]] festival.<br />
<br />
As per ayurveda, the months of Shravan and Bhadrapada i.e. July-August-September are predominated with Vata and Pitta respectively. This causes dryness and acidity in the whole body, resulting in restlessness and mood swings.<br />
<br />
The highly sweet and ghee laden Ghevar and Firni provide relief from the acidic and moist environment. They have Vata and Pitta calming properties due to ghee and sweet juice. Thus, they have a calming effect on mind as well as the body.<br />
