“Lots of halla gulla with meetha rasgulla”
Yes, when it’s time for celebration, there is noise and laughter in air and no party is possible without sweets. In sweets rasgulla has no match.
The dish originated in states of Odisha and West Bengal are variously claimed to be the birthplace of the dish.
According to historians of Odisha, the origin of rasgulla was in Puri, as khira mohana, which later unfolded into the Pahala rasgulla. It has been traditionally offered as bhog to goddess Lakshmi at Jagannath Temple, Puri. It is said, Laxmi gets upset because her husband Lord Jagannath goes on a 9-day sojourn (the ratha yatra) without her consent. So, she locks Jai Vijay Dwar, one of the temple gates and prevents his convoy from re-entering the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. To appease her, Jagannath offers her rasgullas. This ritual, known as Bachanika, a part of the "Niladri Bije" (or "Arrival of the God") observance, which marks the return of the Prabhu Jaganath along with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra to the temple after the Ratha Yatra.
And also rasogulla as known in Bengal, is believed to have been introduced in present-day West Bengal in 1868 by a Kolkata-based confectioner named Nobin Chandra Das. But it is believed that Braja Moira had introduced rasgulla in his shop near Calcutta High Court in 1866, two years before Das started selling the dish. It was just popularized by Das.

Angoori rasmalai is an Indian  dessert  consumed mainly in  India , as well as in  Pakistan  and  Bangladesh .  Angoori derives its name from Angoor which is  Hindi  for grape, signifying the shape and form, and also alluding to its sweetness.  The name  ras malai  comes from two words in Hindi:  ras , meaning "juice", and  malai , meaning "cream".  The dessert is made from  cottage cheese  which is then soaked in  chashni , a sugary  syrup , and rolled in fine sugar to form grape-sized balls.
