Ask any Bengali, what is Jamai Sasti? And you are flooded
with so many heart touching answers. It is a festival that is mainly celebrated
between a Son-in-Law and Mother-in-law. It is a day for them where both of them
come out from their comfort zone of respect and shyness and have some light
hearted fun. Jamai Sasti 2016 is on
10th June and most Bengali families have already started planning on
how to enjoy this day in a special way. The main benefit goes to the “Jamai”
(Son-in-law) because he gets the utmost pamper, care and whole lot of gifts and
Bengali menus in front of him. After marriage, a daughter is bound to leave her
father’s house to step in her own house and on this auspicious day both “Jamai”
and Daughter is welcomed to experience the ultimate hospitality.
Rituals of Jamai Sasti
Well, the day starts with a Sasti Puja that is performed by
the Mother-in-law followed by the blessings to Jamai and Daughter. Jamai will
enter in-laws house with a big packet of sweets. Then, she will tied a Yellow
thread on the right hand of Son-in-law and left hand of the daughter. The
entire ritual takes 1 to 2 hours to complete and finally there is an exchange
of gifts and excellent menus to wrap up the whole occasion. Bengalis are real
foodies and no occasion is complete without good foods. Traditionally, it was
only a homely occasion, but now with modern ideas, this occasion is celebrated
on a bigger note.
