Overview

Shashtipurti for families in Nacharam

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.

Nacharam grew around its industrial estate, and the IDA belt still shapes the area. Factories, workshops and small units sit along the main roads, while the lanes behind them have filled up with apartment blocks, independent houses and rented accommodation for the people who work nearby.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.

With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning your puja in Nacharam

Tell us if the family works shifts, so the muhurtham can be chosen at a workable hour.

For a unit or workshop puja, check with the owner or supervisor about open flames near stored material.

Lorry movement on the industrial estate roads is heavy through the day; early mornings are calmer.

For a Vahana puja, keep the vehicle parked in open space with room to walk around it.

Share the number of people attending so the prasadam and seating can be planned.

Share the birth star and date to fix the muhurtham.

Plan new clothes, mangalsutra and gifts for the couple as per custom.
