Vat Savitri Vrat - Page 2

thanks chalhov I didn't know this that much thanks for the article once again...

Thanks Chalhov for sharing the rituals of Vrat Savatri. Like my CB friends, I am also fascinated by the many rituals Hindu women observe, for the well being of their husband and family.
Wonder if the husbands observe such rituals for the wellbeing of their wives?

I agree with Neerja that Vrat Savitri Ritual was beautifully depicted in CB1.

Thnx for post.I too am fascinated by the Hindu rituals perfomed for the husbands by their wives. I came to know about this vrat in CB1.It was beautifully depicted. Since Radhika will be doing this vrat for Dev I'm certain that she'l succeed in completing it & however much Rohan tries to do anything nothing will happen to Dev.

Thanks Chalhov for this thread and details about the significance of this puja for married women---
I am looking forward to this in CB2 --to see Radhika accomplishes her vrat for her Dev---

Thanks Chalhov...it is very interesting that this vrat can be done for women's health problems as well...like menstruation...this problem is more common than we think...

Thanks friends for your response India is such a vast traditional country with lot of rituals pujas and fast for different reasons with a mytological religious regional stories attached to them makes interesting reading also lot of people observe them.


Regional Celebrations Of Vat-Savitri Puja

This festival is celebrated throughout India, especially in states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Orissa AND BENGAL. In south India this fast is known as Karadaiyan Nonbu and is observed by married women of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Karadayan Nonbu or Karadaiyan Nonbu is a major Tamil festival celebrated at the time of Meena Sankramam - ending of the Tamil month of Maasi (Malayalam month Kumbham) and beginning of Panguni (Meenam in Malayalam). Also known as Savitri Vrat, Karadayan Nonbu ritual is observed by all married women for the well being of their husband and that the couples should remain together always. Unmarried women also observe Karadaiyan Nonbu and pray to Goddess Shakti to get good men as their husband. This year Karadayan Nonbu is on 14th March 2009. The pooja (puja) timing is from 2.30 PM to 2.45 PM.

Karadaiyan Nombu is celebrated in honour of Sathi Savithri's success in bringing back her husband Satyavan's life from the hands of Yama Dev, the God of Death. This is why the ritual is known as Savitri Nonbu.

How to perform Karadayan Nonbu Puja

On the day of Karadaiyan Nonbu, women prepare a sweet prasadam known as Karadiyan Adai. Karadiyan Nonbu Adai is specially prepared for the Karadayan pooja with rice flour, jaggery and a red coloured dry beans known as Kaaramani. After the Karadiyan Adai preparation it is time to start the Karadaiyan puja. All female members in the family will get ready to start the puja. Kolams (rangoli) will be drawn by all ladies in front of the pooja place and a banana leaf will be placed on each kolam. The women in the family perform the nivedyam after placing one sweet Karadai, one Kozhukkattai, a blob of fresh butter, two bananas, arali flowers, betel leaves and nuts, and the most important Nonbu Charadu. Nonbu Charadu or Manjal Saradu is a sacred yellow cotton thread dipped in turmeric paste and tied in the middle with some flower. The puja starts and the naivedyam is offered to Goddess Gowri (Kamakshi) or Goddess Shakti. While offering the women chant this mantra:

"Urugada Vennaiyum Oradaiyum Naan Tharuven
Orukaalum En Kanavar Ennai Piriyadirukkanum"

After performing the puja the Nonbu Charadu is tied around the neck. While wearing the Nonbu Charadu, women chant this sloka:

"Throram Krishhnami Subhake Saharithamdharami Aham
Bharthuayushya Sidhartham Supreethabhava Sarvadha."

After wearing the sacred yellow cotton string the prasadam is taken by the offerers. The manjal saradu will not be removed until the next Karadaiyan Nonbu ritual. Following the tradition of Kaaradayan Nonbu every year is believed to attain Dheerga Sowmangalyam (a long married life).

Karadaiyan Nonbu festival is celebrated with great importance on the Southern states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.
