Jigarthanda was popularized by the Muslim settlers in the areas around Madurai, which is the only city where this drink is found to be authentic. The famous Jigarthanda Stall, along with its branch at Anna Nagar in Madurai have set the records for most Jigarthanda sold by volume at a single outlet.[citation needed] Madurai Jigarthanda is popular in a region with very high temperatures, because of the drink's cooling properties.
