Invite peace, prosperity and healing with the blessings of Maa Sheetla!
Sheetla Saptami Basoda is a sacred day to honor Maa Sheetla, the divine protector who shields devotees from ailments like smallpox, measles, and infections. Ancient scriptures describe Her as the ultimate purifier, bestowing well-being and warding off suffering. Worshipping Her on this auspicious day is believed to cleanse past karmic afflictions and invite lifelong health and peace.
As per a legend, once a devoted Brahmin daughter-in-law honored Maa Sheetla on Saptami by offering Her stale food with deep reverence. Pleased with her devotion, Maa blessed her with lifelong protection from diseases. Since then, this ritual has been observed as a mark of faith and divine safeguard.
Offering Chadhava at Varanai’s Sheetla Mata Temple on Sheetla Saptami is believed to strengthen Maa Sheetla’s protective shield, warding off negativity and ensuring a disease-free life. Since ancient times, this act of devotion has brought peace and healing to countless devotees.
This Basoda, seek Maa Sheetla’s grace—offer your Chadhava and invite health, protection, and divine blessings!
