Importance of jaggery kheer and roti on Kharna
In this difficult waterless fast of 36 hours, the fasting women offer jaggery kheer and roti to God on the evening of Kharna. After this, Prasad is distributed among other members of the house.
After all, why only jaggery kheer and roti are made on the day of Kharna? Let us know what is the religious reason behind this?
Special attention to cleanliness while making Kharna Prasad
Special care is taken of cleanliness and purity on the occasion of Kharna. On this day, Chhathi Maiya dish is prepared with devotion. On this day, fasting women offer jaggery kheer and roti to Chhathi Mata.
Even today, in the villages and towns of North India, Kharna Prasad (kheer made of bread and jaggery) is prepared on earthen stove. This Prasad of Kharna is also called Rasiyav. Rice, milk and jaggery are used to make this kheer. While rice and milk symbolize the moon, jaggery is said to symbolize the sun.
36 hours fast after kharna
For this reason, jaggery kheer and roti are made on the day of Kharna. This Prasad is also very dear to Chhathi Maiya. During this time, the fasting women silently accept the Prasad of Kharna. And after this, women break the fast only on the last day of Chhath.
Even on the day of Kharna, fasting women remain fasting throughout the day and consume Prasad after the evening puja. Consuming jaggery kheer and roti gives fasting women the ability to fast for 36 hours, because jaggery contains many types of nutrients, which keeps the body energetic for a long time.
