Thekua is a traditional sweet delicacy from Bihar, deeply rooted in the region’s cultural and spiritual identity. Made from whole wheat flour, jaggery (or sugar), and ghee, the mixture is shaped by hand and deep-fried to create crisp, golden brown pieces that stay fresh for days without preservatives.
This humble yet soulful snack holds a special place during Chhath Puja — one of Bihar’s most revered festivals dedicated to the Sun God (Surya) and Chhathi Maiya. During this festival, Thekua is not just food; it’s a holy prasad (offering) symbolizing purity, devotion, and gratitude. Families gather to prepare it together, often using wooden molds engraved with traditional motifs, reflecting Bihar’s rich artisanal heritage.
Culturally, Thekua represents the simplicity, unity, and warmth of Mithila and Bhojpuri traditions. It connects generations — reminding people of home, family, and faith — especially for those living away from Bihar. More than just a snack, Thekua is a sweet taste of heritage, carrying the timeless flavor of Bihar’s love and devotion across the world.

Great taste and packing. Delivery was a bit late but the pickle made up for it.
