How fresh are your products?
Every order is made in small batches and packed fresh before dispatch - the same way our family has done it since 1970. We never keep old stock sitting on shelves.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver across India. For any location-specific questions, message us on WhatsApp.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is Rs. 50 within India. The exact charge is shown at checkout before you pay.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Orders are typically packed and dispatched within 1-2 working days. Delivery within Pune usually takes 1-2 days, and the rest of India 3-6 days, depending on your location.
What is the shelf life of your sweets and snacks?
Shelf life varies by product - it's printed on each pack, and many products list it on their page. We recommend storing in a cool, dry place.
Do your products contain preservatives?
Our products are made with pure, traditional ingredients. Please refer to each product's ingredient list, or message us for specific queries.
Are your products suitable for fasting (upwas)?
We have a dedicated range of Upwas (fasting) products. Look for our Upwas Special Chivda and Upwas Ladoo collections.
Can I place a bulk or corporate order?
Absolutely - we love festival hampers, gifting, and bulk orders. Message us on WhatsApp or use our Contact page and we'll help you plan it.
What if my order arrives damaged?
We pack carefully, but if something arrives damaged, please contact us within with a photo. See our Returns & Refunds page for details.
How can I track my order?
Once your order ships, you'll receive a confirmation with tracking details by email. You can also message us anytime for an update.
