Question
I usually give sweets to my dog. Say, Mysoore pak, Milk peda, payasam, etc. in high amount. Will it affect it badly?
Answer
Do you clean your dog's teeth afterwards? If not, the dog may suffer from dental caries (like humans who do not brush their teeth), and will have to have diseased teeth extracted. Also, a diet high in sugar will lead to obesity, and possibly diabetes later in life (again, like humans). Is this what you want for your pet?
Also, chocolate is poisonous to dogs, since they cannot metabolise theobromine very well and it will accumulate in their metabolic system if they eat too much. Humans can metabolise and excrete theobromine very easily. My brother's Yorkshire Terrier once helped himself to a boxful of chocolates and had to be hospitalised. Fortunately, the dog survived.
If you want to give your dog an occasional treat (for training purposes, say), then you should buy specially formulated doggy-treats. These will be sugar-free and safe for a dog to eat. Please desist from giving your dog confectioneries meant for humans. They will do it no good in the long run (or you, for that matter).
