Khech Mavas Mubarak This is also known as Yaksha amavasya, dedicated to the 'Yaksha', which again appears to refer to some forest-dwelling tribe that lived there before the rishis. On this day a special dish of moong mixed with rice is prepared in the evening. It is served to the Yaksha on an improvised plate made of dry grass. The plate is placed on the top of the wall. The kitchen mortal is placed on a grass ring, worshipped as a symbol of the cosmos and decorated with raw rice and flowers. Some households serve fish on this day also. There are amazing stories related to this day. During our childhood we were told that the Yaksha would be wearing a cap while partaking of this Khichdi and whosoever is able to snatch away this cap will get riches. I had tried it number of times 😂😂 but never saw him😣 No worries... Just make yourself happy with what you have.. Lots of love and blessings to u all #kashmiripandits #kashmiri #khechmavas #amavasya #khechididivas #kashirkoor_sanjogita #enjoy #meditate #relax #keepyourselfhappy https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ7oEBJrHtt/?igshid=1tvcyy8xn5i6s
