Buy dry fruits online in Bhagalpur

Bhagalpur weaves tussar silk, grows Katarni rice and Zardalu mangoes, and celebrates Chhath on the Ganga ghats with a devotion few cities match. Its dry fruit list follows that calendar. It is also an education centre for eastern Bihar, so many households here have a student at home or a child studying away, and dry fruits travel in both directions in parcels.

Chhath and the prasad soop

During Chhath, the soop carried to the ghat holds thekua, fruit and sugarcane, and many families add a small heap of dry fruit. Regular Dakh (Kishmis), Chhuhara (Dry Dates) and Regular Cashew are the usual picks. Order a week before Nahay Khay so the packs reach you in good time.

Shravani Mela from Sultanganj

Every Sawan, kanwariyas fill their pots with Ganga water at Sultanganj and walk barefoot to Deoghar. The walk is long, and pilgrims carry light food such as Makhana (Fox Nut) and Black Dates (Khajoor) that needs no cooking. Families at home keep the same snacks for their own fasting Mondays through the month.

Monsoon on the Ganga

Bhagalpur stays humid from June to October, and makhana and cashews go soft within days in an open bowl. Keep them in airtight steel tins, and keep Walnut Kernels in the fridge. The makhana collection shows every pack size, from a small pouch to a family pack.

Bhagalpur families also keep the Bihula-Bishahari festival in August, when Manjusha paintings of the snake goddess are made and offered. Homes prepare simple prasad for it, and raisins and dates are common additions. The city has a large student population around its university, and many students rent rooms in Tilka Manjhi and nearby areas, where a jar of almonds and raisins is a sensible stock. Winters here are cold enough for til ke laddoo and gajak, both of which taste better with a handful of chopped nuts.

A Bhagalpur order usually reaches you in 4–6 days by courier, weighed to the gram and sealed airtight. The courier also reaches Sultanganj, Kahalgaon, Naugachia and Banka. Orders start at ₹1,000 and every order ships free. Payment is online only.
