Overview

Shashtipurti for families in Tarnaka

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.
