Premium Gobindabhog Rice — Bengal's Sacred Grain

West Bengal's sacred short-grain aromatic rice — sweet buttery aroma, sticky texture, GI-tagged origin. The preferred rice for Bengali payesh, bhog and festive preparations.

Gobindabhog is West Bengal's most revered aromatic rice variety, cultivated for centuries in the fertile plains of Bardhaman, Hooghly, Nadia and Birbhum. Its name derives from its use as the principal offering to Lord Govindaji — meaning "food offered to Lord Krishna".

What makes Gobindabhog extraordinary is its naturally sweet, buttery fragrance released during cooking — produced by the aromatic compound 2-Acetyl-1-Pyrroline (2-AP). Its short, bold grains possess a unique low-amylose starch composition that creates the perfect creamy, sticky texture essential for payesh, khichuri and traditional Bengali sweets.

At SDEY Global Trade, we export export-grade Gobindabhog sourced directly from GI-certified districts in West Bengal. Available in raw white milled form in 1kg, 5kg, 10kg, 20kg and 50kg bags, FOB from Kolkata Port.
