    Overview

    Shashtipurti for families in Sanath Nagar

    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.

    Sanath Nagar is one of Hyderabad's older working neighbourhoods, grown around factories, the railway line and the colonies built for their staff. Its streets are laid out in blocks of independent houses and modest apartment buildings, many of them held by the same family for two or three generations.

    माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

    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
