Bellam Jalebi and Panchadara Chilakalu

A friend was talking about Bellam jalebi in which the syrup is made from jaggery.  His grandfather had a sweet business. Dachepalli sweets where they made panchadara chilakalu or birds of sugar candy sold at fairs. For some occasions they made big sugar candies of about 3-4 ft in height. They had to be made using wooden moulds. With time, the moulds would degrade. After some restorations, the confectioner couldnt find experts who could fix the moulds.
