Gulkand (also written gulqand or gulkhand) is a sweet preserve of rose petals in the South Asia . It is prepared using special pink rose petals and mixed with sugar. Its original etymology claims to be the same in both Persian and Urdu; Gul, which means 'flower' in both languages, and Qand, which means 'sweet' in Arabic.[1].
