Gunda nu Athaanu has long been a Kathiawadi summer tradition, often made in tandem with raw mango pickles. The berries were foraged or bought fresh from local vendors, deseeded with care, and stuffed with a masala blend sweetened with jaggery. This pickle was a symbol of abundance and preservation, often made in large batches and shared during weddings and festivals.
