Fasting is good for health, and now a days it is a trending practices among people to keep fasting every now and then for good health and well being. Infact I also believe that fasting once a week is good as it allows our body mechanism to take rest from regular activity and helps to keep our healthy and fresh. People do follow a strict regime to do fasting.

However, In India, we do not need to keep a tight schedule of fasting. There were so many festivals and faith that allows people to keep fasting. Apart from known festival many people do often keep weekly fasting in the name of God to have the blessing. Like Monday for Shiva, Tuesday for Hanuman, Thursday for Vishnu , Friday for Santoshi Mata. Recently, we had a festival for well being of Children call JEEVITPUTRIKA festival where every mother abstain themselves from food and water for entire day. And the next day having a mega treat at home for everyone.

Cooking variety of snacks and food item the next day even after being in fasting for complete day. That is strength of Indian motherhood ,who keep themselves going all the time without bothering of own wellbeing. Next day of fasting where many people like to end up eating anything they get, Indians mother prepare many dishes for their child. However, the main item is the "Dal" made of sprouts. We have them in raw and later it is cooked too to have them for our meals.

There are other items too to give company to Dal. The plate full of sample dishes is just an example of what is in oferring to end up the fasting. With pakoras, fries and salads we get everything.

Here, the plate full of food items contains, Cucumber, fried banana, fried lady finger, fried Tomatoes, Suran vegetable, and Shrimp vegetable. Apart from this we have many fried item too for entire day.

This is how this particular festivals for the well-being of children comes to an end. These food items were prepaired to keep the child happy with all sort of recipie. This is just a glimpse of inside Indian culture. Also how a mother keep themselves active to prepare so many after spending a day without food and water.

A Salute to every Mom

A day of fasting and then day of feasting.

Stay Calm....

Keep Steeming...Steem On !!!
