This occasion is seen as a renewal of vows and a spiritual thanksgiving for the life lived so far with one’s spouse, family, and society. It is typically organized by the couple’s children, in-laws, or younger siblings to honor and bless the couple for continued health, harmony, and longevity.
The Deeper Meaning of Sashtiapthapoorthi
At 60, a person is believed to have completed their responsibilities to family and society. From here on, they are encouraged to turn toward spirituality and inner fulfillment. The Sashtiapthapoorthi ritual purifies past karmas, strengthens marital bonds, and prepares the couple for a peaceful and blessed life ahead.
Ritual Procedure
- The ceremony begins with a Ganapathi Pooja and family deity worship
- Followed by nine homams:
- Ganapathy Homam
- Lakshmi Homam
- Mrityunjaya Homam
- Ayush Homam
- Danvantri Homam
