Simple South Indian Festive Thali

PrepTime: 20 mins   CookTime:1 hr   Cuisine: South Indian

Simple South Indian Festive Thali, that I prepared during this Sravana Pournami. Which is the 15th day of the month of SHRAAVAN as per Hindu Calendar. Mostly, falls during the month of August as per English calendar.

I prepared the above simple platter / bhojanam as an offering to the Gods & Goddesses on the occasion of this festival.

Importance of ‘Shravana Pournami’:

Though the entire month is considered auspicious, but this particular day is the best of all, because of more than one occasions falling on.

• First and foremost is, the boys of the Hindu Brahmin Community start  seeking their vedic studies from a Guru, at his Gurukul.
• Men and Boys who have already got their upanayanam (traditional sacred thread ceremony) done, do replace the thread with a new one.
• Raksha bandhan,  the most happening festival, in North India, also falls on this day. Now-a-days this festive spirit spread to the South as well. On this day, sisters tie a sacred thread to the wrist, to each & every brother of their family. Which signifies a promise made, to love, care and support each other.
• And personally, it’s our marriage anniversary on this day. And so it makes us feel even more special for a celebration.
