Chhath Puja delivery
Bihari thekua, delivered fresh across Bangalore
Bangalore's Bihari community looks different from Mumbai's or Delhi's — it's younger, more recently arrived, and heavily concentrated around the city's tech corridors. A large share of the Bihari families here moved for IT and engineering jobs in the last decade or two, which means a lot of Chhath observance in Bangalore happens without the extended family, without the childhood ghat, and often without easy access to a home kitchen that knows how to make proper thekua.
That's the specific problem this page solves. Until fairly recently, Bangalore's Bihari community gathered publicly at Sankey Tank for Chhath — but public celebrations at the tank were stopped by local authorities a few years back, which pushed most observance into apartment complexes, community halls, and smaller private gatherings organised by resident associations and cultural groups. Prasad still has to be right, even when the celebration itself has gone quieter and more local.
If you're doing Chhath in a Whitefield apartment, an Electronic City PG, or a Yeshwanthpur flat share and don't have anyone nearby who makes thekua from scratch, this gets it to you the way it's actually meant to be made — not a supermarket substitute.
The Bihari community in Bangalore
Bangalore's Bihari population skews heavily toward IT and engineering professionals working in the Whitefield, Electronic City, and Marathahalli tech corridors, alongside an older, smaller community with roots in the city's manufacturing and railway history around Yeshwanthpur. It's a newer diaspora than Mumbai's or Kolkata's, built largely by migration over the last 15-20 years.
Chhath in Bangalore today is mostly organised at the society or community level rather than one large public gathering — apartment complexes across Whitefield and Electronic City often run their own small Chhath arrangements, and cultural associations organise indoor or courtyard pujas where a public ghat isn't available.
That decentralised pattern actually makes prasad delivery more useful here than almost anywhere else — when the celebration is happening in dozens of small pockets across the city rather than one central ghat, getting real thekua to each of those homes individually is exactly what this solves.
Bangalore's Bihari professional community has also built a strong network of cultural associations and regional-language groups over the years — Bhojpuri and Maithili speakers organising everything from Holi gatherings to informal potlucks where homemade regional food, thekua included, is the centrepiece. For a diaspora built mostly by individual career moves rather than family migration, these informal networks often end up doing the work that an established neighbourhood would do in an older city.

Why our thekua is different
Our thekua isn't made in a commercial kitchen — it comes from Maa ki Rasoi, a home kitchen in Aurangabad, Bihar, run by one woman who has been making thekua and nimki for her own family's Chhath for years before she started selling it. There's no factory batch, no shelf-stabilizing additive, no palm oil substitute for ghee. It's whole wheat flour, jaggery, and ghee, deep-fried the way it's done at home — because for Chhath prasad specifically, how it's made matters as much as how it tastes.
That also means every order is made fresh once it comes in, not pulled off a warehouse shelf. It's packed to travel — thekua is a dry, deep-fried snack that was traditionally made in Bihar precisely because it keeps well without refrigeration, which is why it survives a multi-day shipment to anywhere in India in good condition.

Delivery to Bangalore
We deliver across Bangalore, including Whitefield, Electronic City, Marathahalli, Yeshwanthpur, and the rest of the city. Since it ships from Aurangabad, Bihar, place your order 4-5 days ahead of when you need it — Bangalore is one of our longer-distance delivery routes.
Cash on Delivery is available, along with prepaid checkout. The thekua is packed to travel — it's a dry, ghee-fried snack that keeps well without refrigeration, so it holds its crispness across the full journey.
Good to know
- Order at least 5 days ahead if you're in Bangalore — it's a longer shipping distance from Aurangabad than most of our other delivery cities.
- If you live in a large tech-park-adjacent apartment complex (Whitefield, Electronic City), include your tower/block number clearly — these complexes can be sprawling.
- Coordinate with your building's Chhath group if one exists — a bulk order for a shared celebration works out simpler than several individual ones.
- Thekua doesn't need refrigeration — keep it airtight at room temperature and it's good for weeks.
- If you're new to Bangalore and don't know of a local Chhath gathering, most Bihari cultural associations post details on their community WhatsApp groups closer to the date.
Common questions
How long does delivery to Bangalore take?
Usually 5-7 days from order to delivery, since it ships fresh from Aurangabad, Bihar and Bangalore is a longer route. Order early, especially during Chhath week.
Is there still a public Chhath gathering at Sankey Tank in Bangalore?
Public celebrations at Sankey Tank were discontinued a few years ago by local authorities. Most Chhath observance in Bangalore now happens at the apartment complex or community level instead.
Is COD available in Bangalore?
Yes, Cash on Delivery is available across Bangalore, alongside prepaid online payment.
Do you deliver to Whitefield and Electronic City specifically?
Yes — we deliver across all of Bangalore including Whitefield, Electronic City, Marathahalli, and Yeshwanthpur.
Is this authentic homemade thekua?
Yes — made in a real Bihari home kitchen (Maa ki Rasoi, Aurangabad) with whole wheat flour, jaggery, and pure ghee.
Can multiple families in my apartment complex order together?
Yes — message us on WhatsApp for a bulk order if your building or community group wants to order together for a shared Chhath celebration.
Are there Bihari cultural associations in Bangalore I can connect with?
Yes — several Bhojpuri and Maithili language and cultural groups are active across the city, mostly organising through community WhatsApp groups and society-level events rather than one central organisation.
Does thekua ship well over a longer distance like Aurangabad to Bangalore?
Yes — it's a dry, deep-fried snack traditionally made to survive travel without refrigeration, so the extra distance doesn't affect quality, only delivery time.
