Celebrated with great joy and enthusiasm on the full moon day of the month of Paush, the festival marks the happiness of the new harvest arriving in households.<\/p>\n<p>Shri Sai noted that the birth anniversary of Goddess Shakambhari is also observed on this day, symbolising the protection of food, nature, and life itself.
