Today is Jamaishasti

May 24, 2023 7:35pm CST
Today is Jamaishasti in India. On these days the wives do shashti and offer puja on behalf of their children to mother Shasti. The son in laws are supposed to regard their father in laws and mother in laws and get their blessings for good marital life with their wives.

@sathviksouvik Oh, I see... It's very sad when husbands/fathers pass away much too young. I'm glad your family remembers her on appropriate occasions.

No, not a holiday as it is mostly a regional thing followed mostly in one state in the country.
