Overview
Sathabhishekam for families in Rathyatra
Sathabhishekam is the celebration of a person’s eightieth year, traditionally reckoned as the time when they have seen a thousand full moons. It is also known as Sahasra Chandra Darshan and is especially cherished in South Indian families.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
