Saturday rules: Different types of dishes are prepared every day in the Indian kitchen, but the tradition of cooking and eating Khichdi is especially visible on Saturday. Making Khichdi on Saturday is considered a common thing in many homes from North India to South India. The question is, what is the relation between Saturday and Khichdi?
From health point of view, Khichdi is considered a digestible and nutritious food, but its importance in astrology is even deeper. It is believed that by consuming or donating Khichdi on Saturday, Shani Dev is pleased and his inauspicious effects are reduced.
According to astrologer Anish Vyas, "Shani Dev remains calm by eating sattvik food or donating charity on Saturday."Saturn is considered the god of justice and to avoid his wrath, special rules are followed on Saturday. For this reason, the tradition of eating Khichdi continues on this day.
According to astrology, consuming Khichdi made of rice, black urad dal and seasonal vegetables on Saturday is considered especially fruitful. Such Khichdi not only reduces Shani Dosh but also makes the atmosphere of the house positive.
In astrology, Saturn is considered a heavy, slow and violent planet. Khichdi gives energy to the body and keeps the digestive system balanced. Consuming it on Saturday reduces mental stress, fear and negative energy. Donating Khichdi is also considered an effective solution to appease Shani.
The tradition of cooking Khichdi, eating it and feeding the needy on Saturday is still alive in many families. It is believed that this maintains peace, stability and happiness and prosperity in the house and also removes planetary defects and obstacles in life.
