About Us

Rooted in
Mithila

Mithila Ras was born from a simple belief: the finest snack in the world grows in the sacred lotus ponds of Bihar, and the world deserves to taste it.

We work directly with 20+ farming families in Darbhanga and Madhubani — paying fair prices, preserving 2,000-year-old cultivation traditions, and bringing authentic Mithila makhana to every doorstep in India.

Makhana

Mithila is an ancient cultural region in Bihar, home to Madhubani art and the sacred lotus ponds that produce over 80% of India's makhana. Our farmers have cultivated these seeds for over 2,000 years.
