Shyama Khichdi
Perhaps you might have heard many types of Khichdi, know one more — Shyama Khichdi, it is a festival falls on one day before Akshaya Tritiya (Akhteej). Ingredients of this Khichdi are Bajra (बाजरा) and Moong (मूंग), it is cooked without any kind of salt (नमक). This day, only Khichdi is taken to mouth, no other food (पक्का खाना) is cooked or roasted.
Akshaya Tritiya
This festival falls on Vaisakh Sudi Teej; this day, from morning to night, only Khichdi made of Moong (मूंग) and Chawal (चावल) is taken to mouth, and that is cooked usually without any salt in it. This day people donate eatables, money and clothes to the poor.
Akshaya Tritiya has special significance ‘coz this day Narayan and Lakshmi are worshiped — they are the favorite combination for households and businessmen for attracting money and prosperity. Start their worship by making them snana by gangajal, then decorate the murtis with clothes and jewellery; offer doop, deep, flowers and bhoga made of Mishri (मिश्री) and Wet Chana (भीगे हुए चने); also offer Tulasi leaves to lord Narayan. One may have Vrat (fasting) and it is broken after evening puja.
Akshaya Tritiya Vrat Katha
Once Yudhisthira was doing an Ashwamedha Yagya, while he was busy he saw a Nevla (नेवला) rubbing his body to the ground. He got curious and asked it, why it was doing so. Nevla said, “I’m trying to make my body 100% of gold.” Yudhishthira said, “50% of your body is already of gold, what it is here with ground that you will turn remaining part of your body in gold.”
Nevla told that once a husband and wife had vrat and puja on Akshaya Tritiya, they also donated wheat to a person. Some wheat fell to the ground, it was there, they touched its body — wherever they touched, its body turned in gold.
Yudhisthira felt ashamed (‘coz his Yagya couldn’t turn Nevla into gold) and understood the importance of Akshaya Tritiya, and he also celebrated this festival.
