PLACE OF ORIGIN • 85%+ GLOBAL SUPPLY
Where is it grown? The Bihar Wetland Belts.
Over 85% of the world's raw Makhana flourishes across the tranquil freshwater wetlands, perennial floodplains (Chaurs), and traditional oxbow pond ecosystems of Northern Bihar.
MITHILA REGION
Madhubani
Famous for ancient village water tanks and generation-trained Mallah harvester communities specialized in meticulous underwater hand-scavenging without shell damage.
SEEMANCHAL BELT
Purnia
The highest production volume district in modern times, driving commercial plantation expansion, modern processing clusters, and bulk export aggregation.
SEEMANCHAL BELT
Katihar
Strategically positioned on the eastern trade axis, connecting vast floodplain wetlands with premier logistics rail routes for pan-India wholesale dispatches.
KOSI RIVER BASIN
Saharsa & Supaul
Expansive natural wetland depressions created by the dynamic Kosi river basin yield high-density seeds known for superior roast expansion and clean crispness.
TERAI & EASTERN BELT
Sitamarhi & Kishanganj
Bordering the sub-Himalayan foothills with perennial high precipitation, nurturing mineral-rich organic aquatic pools with year-round freshwater recharge.
FROM WATER TO WONDER
The 7-Stage Makhana Journey
From the quiet wetlands of Bihar to the delicate white bloom in your bowl, every Makhana passes through a patient journey shaped by water, season, skilled hands and generations of farming knowledge.
STAGE 01 / 07
The Living Wetland
The journey begins in the water bodies of Bihar. Traditional Makhana is cultivated in ponds and wetlands where the crop grows in standing water, rooted in the aquatic environment.
“Before the first seed is sown, the water must be ready to receive it.”

BIHAR WETLANDS
STAGE 01
SEQUENTIAL ARTISANAL ROADMAP
The Preparation of Makhana.
From muddy pond beds to pure white puffed blooms — follow the step-by-step roadmap of how authentic Bihar Makhana is crafted.
PHASE 01 · GATHERING
Pond Bed Harvesting
Mallah divers forage muddy wetland beds by hand to collect fresh black seeds (*Guri*) without cracking the outer shell.
PHASE 02 · DRYING
Sun-Drying & Conditioning
Freshly washed seeds are spread across open bamboo mats under natural sunshine to stabilize moisture down to 31–33%.
PHASE 03 · GRADING
Pre-Roast Size Sorting
Dry seeds are sieved through multi-mesh iron sieves (*Jharni*) into 5 uniform sizes to guarantee identical heat absorption.
PHASE 04 · ROASTING
Wood-Fired Pan Roasting
Constant high-heat stirring in cast-iron pans loosens the delicate inner white kernel from the rock-hard exterior coat.
PHASE 05 · EXPANSION
Wooden Mallet Popping
A swift, precise manual strike with a hardwood mallet (*Thapi*) instantly pops the red-hot kernel into a crisp white puff.
PHASE 06 · PACKAGING
Caliper Sorting & Pack
Popped grains are calibrated into 3 to 7 Suta grades, dedusted, and hermetically sealed in moisture-barrier master packaging.
