CSD AFD Online Registration Process 2025What should I wear on Shashti?
The Shashti is a holy day, so you should dress modestly. Try wearing something like a kurta with leggings. Pair it with sandals or comfortable shoes to finish the look. You can also accessorize if you’d like by adding a piece of jewelry or scarf for some extra style. Make sure that whatever you wear doesn’t draw too much attention as this isn’t appropriate for observing the religious holiday.
What can we eat during Sashti viratham?
Meals consumed during this fast should have minimal or no ingredients added such as oil, ginger, garlic, and onion. Therefore for breakfast, one should opt for items like upma, abirisahi bhakri, poha, or kuttu ka atta poori. For lunch or dinner, you could make dishes from sago flour and poppy seed with boiled vegetables to accompany them. Light snacks like bananas or arrowroot cake can be consumed in between meals if needed.
What does the name ‘Kiruthika’ mean?
The name Kiruthika has its roots in Indian culture and is derived from the term ‘Kiruththi’, which translates to artwork or beauty. It can also be described as a form of creative expression that proliferates personal growth. This makes it an apt choice for parents seeking to give their daughters a positive and meaningful name.
