▪︎Kartika Month is considered as the holiest month in the Hindu Calendar, old women specially widow known as "Habisyalis" in Odisha, observe Habisha and worship Lord Rai Damodara (Vishnu) & Goddess Laxmi which is called as“Radha Damodar Puja” & "Rai Damodar Brata" in Puri. ▪︎They have only one meal in a day before sunset this is known as "Habisha", during the fasting. ▪︎As per the tradition, those who observe the habisha or the Kartika brata renounce a number of vegetables, a number of pulses & other leafy vegetables for the whole month. ▪︎Agasti leaves & flower are used specially in Kartik month (Oct – Nov) to cook and eat as leafy vegetables. Agasti leaves & flowers are added to Habisa dalma which is prepared during this month. ▪︎It is believed that adding this into the diet not only benefits health but also purify the body. (Check my previous post for its detailed health benefits). ▪︎Agathi leaves taste bitter and mildly tart. But this bitterness can be counteracted when cooked. #agastisaagamuga #saagamuga #agastileavesrecipe #agastyaplant #satvikrecipe #satwikfoods #easyquickmeals #homecooked #kartikamonth #novembercooking #foodstylish #bhukadinsantale #odishatourism #odisha_iger #ndtvfood #toifood #followbacknow #foodfacts #foodrituals #foodmythology #indiancooking #odiafood #authenticodiafoods #lostrecipe #lostrecipeofodisha #odishacultureandfood #foodcreative #foodculture #reelindia #reelkarofeelkaro
