Thekua: The Sacred Sweet Cookie of Bihar
Celebrating Chhath traditions, wooden moulds, and pure desi ghee.
1. Cultural Heritage & Roots
Thekua is far more than a sweet—it is an emotion for millions of Biharis across India and the global diaspora. Originating from ancient Mithila and Magadh traditions, Thekua serves as the supreme sacred offering (Mahaprasad) during the sun-worship festival of Chhath Puja. It carries centuries of culinary devotion, prepared in copper and brass vessels using hand-ground whole wheat and unrefined sugarcane jaggery.
