Indeed, the history of the world fame Bikaneri Bhujia is the history of Bhikaram Chandmal. The group started manufacturing Bhujia as long as 125 years ago as a small-scale industry in the erstwhile state of Bikaner, in the heart of "Thar Desert". It was started by late Tansukhdas Agarwal. He used to manufacture BARI (a local home made dry vegetable) manufactured by Moth Dal (Kidney beans) flour. Once, when he fried these BARI in frying pan, he found it very tasty. He named this new product BHUJIA that means 'fried product'. Thus, he invented the new product, which is now world fame.
     His son Bhikharam and grandson Chandamal joined him in his business. They improved the quality of Bhujia. The father and son duo got patronage from the Maharaja of Bikaner and were also awarded suitably. Bhujia became more popular as it was included in the list of favorite snack food in the Darbar of Bikaner.
     Bhikharam and Chandmal were always contemplated for new innovations and they introduced various varieties of Namkeens. Gradually, a number of Halwais in Bikaner started manufacturing Bhujia as their main business and the local population made Bhujia their regular eatable snack food.
     The Bhujia was further popularized in the other parts of the country by the local people who whenever visited distant places, always brought Bhujia with them as gift/present to their relatives and friends. This made Bhujia and namkeens from Bikaner more widespread among people of other states. Thus, the Demand for Bikaneri Bhujia increased manifolds.
     In the year 1990, Mr. Navratan Agarwal and Mr. Hari Ram Agrawal from BHIKHARAM CHANDMAL BHUJIAWALA, BIKANER family established its first high-tech systematic manufacturing unit to produce quality BHUJIA and NAMKEENS. The unit was named as SUNSHINE FOOD PRODUCTS. They inherited the art of manufacturing quality Bhujia and Namkeens from their ancestors.
