Panchuka Bhojan (Habisa Thali) – Saatvic

The holy month of Kartika overlapping October & November during every year leads to many significance for each Odia in specific & every Indian in general.

Odias’ observe many traditional festivals and rituals like “Habisa”, “Panchuka”, “Kartika Purnima” and “Boita Bandana” during this month.

Kartika Brata is observed for the whole month and important rituals that are followed include partial fasting and reading the Kartika Mahatmya from Padma Purana. A large number of pilgrims (particularly widows and women) flock to Puri to serve Lord Jagannath and observe fast.

During the entire month, they take food only once a day in the afternoon, which is known as “Habisa” and the devotees undertaking the Brata are known as “Habisiali”. They either take Mahaprasad from the temple throughout this month or prepare their own “Habisa” food with specific vegetables and pulses.

To celebrate the rich Odia Culture, Rasabali Gourmet brings you the purest form of “Panchuka Bhojan” in one of the day of last 5 days of Kartika Month known as “Panchuka”. Panchuka is considered to be highly auspicious.
