Sweet Tales of The Jigarthanda Specialists!
Madurai Famous Jigarthanda History, a brand that has been cherished by locals and tourists alike, has a remarkable journey that began in 1977 when our founder, P. Sheik Meeran, started as a street vendor selling chilled milk cream. Over time, this simple treat transformed into the iconic beverage known as Jigarthanda. Under the visionary leadership of our father Beer Mohammed, we elevated this unique drink into a beloved Madurai beverage. People of Madurai fell in love with our signature drink, and word of mouth turned it into an icon in Madurai. We then embarked on a mission to expand our reach beyond Madurai.
