Khiramohana or, khira mohana^[1] (Odia: କ୍ଷୀର ମୋହନ) is a creamish dessert popular in Odisha and West Bengal. It is made from chhena and syrup made of sugar. The descendant^[2] of khira mohana probably was Odia Rasgulla the food historians from Odisha suggest that the Khira mohana was invented in Odisha to offer the goddess Lakshmi at Jagannath Temple, Puri. In a 2017 Television interview in Kolkata, an expert contradicts, “a dessert named Khiramohana cannot be offered to goddess Lakshmi, since the word 'mohana' present in the dessert’s name represents Lord Krishna, it should have been in the name of Lakshmi instead."
