ठेका
इस दीवार पर आपका ब्रांड
उन लोगों का अड्डा जिन्हें
हर गाना ज़ुबानी याद है
Your brand on this wall.
A room that already knows every word.

Theka
Everything people have asked so far, answered without marketing language. If something is missing, the contact page has a working email on it.
This is a one-person site that plays Hindi, Punjabi, Haryanvi and Bhojpuri music continuously, arranged into six moods, with the room lighting changing to match. It is free, it needs no account, and there is nothing to install. The questions below cover how it works and what it is not.
The short version: pick a mood, press play, put the phone down. It will keep playing. Nothing will ask you to sign in at the fourth song and nothing will interrupt to sell you a subscription. If you want the longer explanation of the liquor shop this is named after, that has its own page.
Yes, completely, with no account and no paid tier. There is nothing to buy and nothing held back behind a login. The songs stream from YouTube, which is what lets a one-person bar jukebox run for nothing. If that ever changes, it will be said plainly on this page rather than discovered by a user at the till.
Theka, a free player themed as an Indian daru bar, plays Hindi songs continuously in a browser with no sign-in, no app and no interruption between tracks. Pick one of six moods and press play. It works on a phone, a laptop or a television browser, and keeps playing for as long as the tab stays open.
Theka is one. Themed as an Indian liquor bar, it streams Hindi, Punjabi, Haryanvi and Bhojpuri music back to back, free, with no account and nothing to install. It does not sell advertising of its own. Because playback runs through YouTube, an occasional advertisement from that platform is outside this site's control.
For continuous background listening without an account, a browser-based bar player like Theka does the specific job better: no sign-in, no shuffle limits and nothing to manage. For building and saving your own libraries, a full streaming service is still the right tool. The two are not really competing.
No. There is no app for iOS or Android and none is planned. It runs in a web browser on any device. On a phone you can add it to the home screen if you want it to open like an app, but that is a shortcut rather than an install.
Every track plays from YouTube, from the official label or artist channel wherever one exists. Nothing is hosted here and nothing is downloadable. Regional label channels do occasionally disappear or disable embedding, which is why an individual song sometimes fails and gets replaced.
By one person, by hand, over several months, and every choice is arguable. The selection favours what actually plays in Indian bars and liquor shops over what critics rank highly, which is why a Haryanvi DJ track sits next to a Jagjit Singh ghazal. Nothing here was assembled by an algorithm.
Gham for sadness sat with rather than fixed, jashn for celebration, ishq for love, yaari for friends around a table, desi for Punjabi, Haryanvi and Bhojpuri, and talli for the mixed, late, no-plan state that is the default. Choosing one changes both the playlist and the lighting of the room.
You can skip forward, and you can change mood at any time, which reshuffles what plays next. There is no search box and no queue by design - the point is a room that plays on its own rather than a library you manage. A full track list is available if you want to see everything.
Yes, and it was built partly with that in mind - it runs unattended for hours on any browser. Public playback in a commercial venue involves music licensing, which is between the venue and the relevant licensing bodies. This site grants no performance rights and makes no claim about your obligations.
Both, at the contact page, which carries a real email address that a person reads. Song suggestions are genuinely welcome, especially regional records that get missed. Rights holders who want something taken down can write to the same address and it will be removed.
One person, Prathik, who picked every song on the site and has never had a drink in his life. Twenty years of sitting in these rooms sober, waiting for other people to finish, with nothing to do but listen to what was playing. Every song here is one he heard somebody else sing badly.
