| Matha Tirtha Aunshi |
Month: April |
 |
Mata Tirtha Aunshi falls in the month of Baisakh dark fortnight (April). This festival falls in the time of dark moons time; so its called Mata Tirtha Aunshi.(Mata) means mother and (Tirtha) means pilgrimage; so in this way it is called (Mata Tirtha Aunshi). This festival is observed in the commemoration and respect of the mother. So its mother reading day as well. Devotees worship their living mother at their home itself and the persons whose mothers have been passed away; they go to the Mata Tirtha Pilgrimage; which is located towards the valley eastern side at Mata Tirtha Villagedevelopment committees periphery.
People bow their head on their mothers feet and worship her providing with delicious foods; nice clothes; and some monetary donations as per their caliber to get good blessings from her. Hindu mythology believes that parents are like our God; and if we please them we get very successful life. Thats why people worship their mother in a very soaring way on this day.
A very grand spectacular religious fair takes place at Mata Tirtha Pilgrimage on this day. Thousands of devotees flock there in the high reverence of their deceased mothers. After the holy bath and worship; they donate some subsidiary items with money to the Bharaman priest staying and citing religious booklets there. Also they subscribe subsidiary items and money to the poor and needy people as well. Scripture believes that if some one donates on this day, it reaches automatically to their heavenly resided mothers place and they will definitely be blessed for happy life from her. Thats why people seem thronging hugely in this pilgrimage on this day.
