Chhath Puja delivery
Bihari thekua, delivered fresh across Hyderabad
Hyderabad's Bihari community has two distinct layers — an older one tied to the city's railway colonies around Secunderabad, going back generations, and a much newer one built by the IT boom around Gachibowli and HITEC City over the last fifteen years. Both groups care about Chhath, and both often end up short on one specific thing come festival season: someone nearby who still makes thekua the traditional way.
That's especially true for the newer IT-corridor households, where the pace of relocation means there often isn't an established local network of home cooks the way there is in cities with older Bihari settlements. This page exists to close that gap directly — real thekua, made in a Bihari home kitchen, shipped straight to your Hyderabad address.
Hyderabad's IT sector has drawn Bihari engineering and tech talent at a pace comparable to Bangalore's, but with a smaller overall footprint — which means the community here is still in the process of building the kind of dense local network that makes sourcing regional food easier. Direct delivery closes that gap in the meantime.
Whether you're in a Gachibowli high-rise, a Secunderabad railway colony with three generations of Chhath behind it, or anywhere else in the city, this gets you prasad made the way it's supposed to be made.
The Bihari community in Hyderabad
The older, more established Bihari presence in Hyderabad centres around Secunderabad's railway colonies — a community with deep roots going back to when the Indian Railways drew workers from across the country, including Bihar, to settle here permanently. The newer wave is concentrated in Gachibowli and HITEC City, driven almost entirely by the city's IT and tech-services growth.
That split matters for Chhath: the Secunderabad community often has decades of established festival tradition and local knowledge, while families in the IT corridor are frequently building their own Chhath observance from scratch, in apartment complexes without an obvious ghat or an aunt down the street who makes prasad.
Either way, the prasad itself is the one constant — whether your family has done Chhath in Hyderabad for thirty years or this is your first one away from Bihar, it still has to be made right.
The generational gap between Secunderabad's old railway-colony families and Gachibowli's newer IT arrivals also shows up in how Chhath gets organised — established families often have decades of local relationships with priests, ghat arrangements, and neighbours doing the vrat together, while IT-corridor newcomers are frequently piecing together their first independent celebration, sometimes leaning on the older community for guidance on ritual details.

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 Hyderabad
We deliver across Hyderabad, including Gachibowli, HITEC City, Secunderabad, and the rest of the city. Order 5-6 days ahead of when you need it, since Hyderabad is on the longer end of our delivery routes from Aurangabad, Bihar.
Cash on Delivery is available alongside prepaid checkout. Thekua ships packed to survive the full journey without losing its texture — it's naturally suited to travel since it doesn't need refrigeration.
Good to know
- Order 6+ days ahead for Chhath week specifically — Hyderabad is a longer shipping route and this is our busiest period.
- If you're in Gachibowli or HITEC City, note your building/floor clearly given how dense some of these complexes are.
- Secunderabad's established Bihari community often has organised Chhath events — worth checking with your local cultural association for shared arrangements.
- No refrigeration required — airtight storage at room temperature keeps it crisp for weeks.
- First order in Hyderabad? COD is a low-risk way to try it before your next Chhath.
