Bagiya
Bagiya (also called Pithha[1]) is a delicacy of the Madheshi,[2] Tharu and Dhimal communities of Nepal. It is a steamed dumpling that consists of an external covering of rice flour[3] and an inner content of sweet substances such like chaku, vegetables and other fried items. The delicacy plays a very important role in Madhesi and Tharu society, and is a key part of the festival of Diwali (also known as Deepawali or Tihar) on the day of Laxmi Puja.[4][5]
