*My Small Writing On Rishipanchami Day*
Rishipanchami is getting celebrating on second day of Ganesh
Chaturthi. It is not a festival but a fasting day observed by women to pay
respect & gratitude to Sapta Rishi or seven sages who devoted their
life for the welfare of the society. These Seven Sages are Kashyapa, Atri,
Bharadhvaj, Vishvamitra, Gauthama, Jamadagni & Vashishta.
*From Yogesh Gogwekar*
On Rishipanchami day, women observe fasting for
purification. In Hinduism, Purification has highest priority and there are
guidelines to maintain it. During menstrual cycle, women are not allowed to do
any religious functions and also not allowed to enter in kitchen. Thus, to
avoid such guidelines ,women are observing the fast.
In Maharashtra especially in Konkan part and Goa, a special
dish is cooked which is being called as Rishichi Bhaji which contains mix
veggies. Such veggies are made in such way which can be compared to the
way it was prepared during the time of Rishis. For making Rishichi Bhaji
,following vegetables are being used.
1. Amaranth leaves - Lalmath
2. Elephant foot yam-Suran
3. Potato
4. Pumpkin-Bhopala
5. Raw Banana- Kachi Keli
6. Corn-Makka
7. Tender Peanuts
8. Sweet Potato- Ratale , sakharkandi
Some people are cooking following vegetables whereas
some people are not using.
1. Colocasia Roots-Arabi
2. Colocasia leaves- Aluche Pan
3. Snake Gourd- Padval
4. Right Gourd - Turai
These all vegetables are seasonal and very strong & healthy.
Mixture of these veggies bring fantastic test and I always like to eat with
rice.
