Mahalaya lunch menu Day 3

Mahalaya Paksha | Pitru Paksha is a fortnight of praying and satisfying our ancestors who visit us every year during this time . One of the important way is through food .

How to satisfy Pitrus

our scriptures have shown different types of Kaamya Shraadhas. It is a practice of offering favourite items of food, clothing or any other materialistic thing to the forefathers and praying to them for blessing the family with their favours.

Many people are under the wrong impression that the Pitrus should not be worshipped along with Gods.

But this is mere ignorance. Every auspicious event in the family like thread ceremony (yagnopavit), Namakaran, Vaastu Puja, Nav Chandi, marriage etc are performed only after performing Nandi Shraaddha.

Here are some more delicious 😋 simple dishes that one can try on any day , not necessarily for Mahalaya. These are simple recipes with minimum ingredients, sathvik and no onion no garlic . Elders in the family will enjoy . The recipes can be tried for Ammavasai too or to put together a meal for Srardham .
