    Overview

    Shashtipurti for families in Lal Darwaza

    Shashtipurti marks the completion of sixty years of life, when the sixty year cycle of the Hindu calendar comes back to the year of one’s birth. It is one of the most important family celebrations in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada homes, and increasingly in North Indian families too.

    Lal Darwaza lies in the Old City of Hyderabad, south of Charminar. It is one of the city's historic neighbourhoods, with narrow lanes, old houses and families who have lived here for many generations.
