Chhath Puja delivery
Bihari thekua, delivered fresh across Delhi NCR
Delhi has celebrated Chhath Puja as a full-scale public festival for decades — it's not a niche community event here, it's a city-recognised one, with the Delhi government setting up designated ghats, prayer areas, and cleanliness arrangements every year for the scale of crowds that show up. That's how large and established the Bihari and Purvanchali population in the capital region actually is.
But scale doesn't mean every thekua sold around Chhath season in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad is made the way it should be. A lot of it is bought pre-made from bulk vendors weeks ahead of the festival. This page exists for the households in NCR who want the other kind — made to order, in an actual Bihari kitchen, the week you need it.
If your family has been doing Chhath in Delhi for a generation and you just don't have the time (or the kitchen setup) to make thekua from scratch this year, or you've moved to NCR for work and want something that actually tastes like Bihar, this is built for exactly that.
The Bihari community in Delhi NCR
Yamuna Ghat is Delhi's best-known Chhath gathering point — thousands of devotees arrive before sunrise for Sandhya and Usha Arghya, and despite sitting in the middle of one of India's busiest metros, the ghat takes on a genuinely tranquil, sacred atmosphere during the festival. The Delhi government has invested in proper arrangements here for years now, which tells you how central this festival has become to the city's civic calendar, not just a community's private observance.
Beyond the Yamuna, Chhath is also celebrated widely across East Delhi neighbourhoods and at DDA park ponds throughout the city, plus large gatherings in Noida and Ghaziabad reflecting the huge Purvanchali population across the wider NCR belt — this isn't concentrated in one pocket the way it is in some other cities, it's genuinely city-wide.
For a festival this visible and this widely observed, the prasad itself still comes down to a home kitchen getting the recipe right — that's the one part scale doesn't change.
Beyond Chhath, Delhi's Bihari and Purvanchali community sustains an active cultural calendar year-round — Bhojpuri and Maithili language associations, regional cultural events, and Holi celebrations that carry distinctly eastern-Indian traditions alongside the more familiar North Indian ones. Thekua itself isn't limited to Chhath either; many Bihari households in Delhi keep a batch on hand through Holi and Makar Sankranti as well, alongside sattu and other regional staples that don't always make it into mainstream Delhi kitchens.

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 Delhi NCR
We deliver across Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad. Given NCR's sheer sprawl, place your order at least 4-5 days ahead of when you need it, and earlier still in Chhath week when order volumes spike across the platform.
Cash on Delivery is available throughout NCR alongside prepaid checkout. The thekua is packed to survive a multi-day shipment from Aurangabad, Bihar without losing its crispness — it's naturally suited to travel since it's traditionally made to keep without refrigeration.
Good to know
- NCR is huge — double-check whether your address is Delhi, Noida, Gurugram or Ghaziabad specifically when you check out, since delivery timing can vary slightly by zone.
- Order at least 5 days before Chhath Puja if you're anywhere in NCR — it's one of our two highest-volume delivery regions alongside Mumbai.
- If you're sending prasad to a Yamuna Ghat gathering or a community celebration, order a day earlier than your personal deadline as a buffer.
- Store thekua airtight at room temperature — it doesn't need refrigeration and stays crisp for weeks.
- COD works well for first-time orders if you want to check quality before committing to prepaid for future orders.
Common questions
How long does delivery to Delhi NCR take?
Typically 4-6 days from order to delivery, since it's made fresh to order in Aurangabad, Bihar. Order earlier during Chhath week given NCR's size and order volume.
Do you deliver to Noida and Gurugram, or only Delhi?
We deliver across the full NCR region — Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad.
Is COD available in Delhi NCR?
Yes, Cash on Delivery is available throughout NCR, alongside online prepaid payment.
Is this real homemade thekua or a commercially manufactured version?
It's made in a real Bihari home kitchen (Maa ki Rasoi, Aurangabad) with whole wheat flour, jaggery and pure ghee — not a factory product.
Can I get it delivered in time for Yamuna Ghat or a society Chhath celebration?
Yes, as long as you order with enough lead time — 5+ days ahead is the safe window during Chhath week given NCR's scale.
Does thekua need to be refrigerated after delivery?
No — stored airtight at room temperature it keeps well for 2-3 weeks, same as it would in a home kitchen.
Is thekua only eaten during Chhath Puja, or year-round too?
Chhath is the main occasion, but many Bihari households in Delhi NCR also make or order it around Holi and Makar Sankranti, and simply as a tea-time snack.
What's the difference between thekua and anarsa?
Both are traditional Bihari sweets, but thekua is a dense, deep-fried wheat-and-jaggery snack, while anarsa is a rice-flour sweet coated in sesame seeds — different textures and different preparation methods entirely.
