In many South Indian Hindu families, the 60th, 70th and 80th birthday of a grandfather is a grand gala event! It is known as Shashti-abdha-poorthi, BheemarathaSanthi,
Sathabhishekam and it is an occasion for the entire family to gather around the great grandparents.
According to Indian tradition every man is bound by the duties as the Head of the Family. He is expected to complete his family duties to his children by education and marriage before reaching his age of
60. The father is supposed to hand over his family duties along with Properties to be managed by his sons. The father will perform only advisory service to his sons.
Such a date of Handing over of Family-duties is the Age of 60.
Besides his Children pay back their gratitude to their parents for getting them married and making them well-settled in life. So the Children re-enact the conduct of the Marriage of their parents and worship them with due honour.
Such a due clearance of commitments and achievements of their parents in life is PROUDLY celebrated collectively by the children on his 60 years of age... The Shashti abdha poorthi Day.
Entrust your Parent’s Shastiapthapoorthi with Nala and we would ensure complete happiness!
