Rules of Roti: In Hinduism, food is also seen to be associated with religion. According to beliefs, mother Annapurna resides in food. There are some special rules related to food and festivals which must be followed. A meal without roti is generally considered incomplete but making roti on some festivals is considered inauspicious. Just as cooking and eating rice on Ekadashi is not considered auspicious, similarly making bread is prohibited on some festivals. Let us know on which festivals rotis should not be made.
Maa Lakshmi Festival
According to the scriptures, chapatis should not be made at home on festivals related to Goddess Lakshmi. Bread should not be made even on the day of Diwali. There is a tradition of making special dishes in the festivals of Maa Lakshmi. Bread should not be made in these festivals and satvik food should be consumed after making dishes like puri, sweets, halwa.
Nagpanchami
According to the scriptures, bread should not be made in the kitchen even on the day of Nag Panchami. There is a tradition of eating puri and halwa on this day. Keeping a griddle on the stove is considered inauspicious on the day of Nag Panchami. In the Puranas, the griddle has been considered as the replica of the hood of a snake. That’s why tawa is not kept on the fire on the day of Nagpanchami.
Sheetal Ashtami
Mother Sheetla Devi is worshiped on Sheetla Ashtami. On this day, stale food is offered to Mata Sheetla and after offering it, stale food is also taken. On this day before sunrise, stale food is offered to Mata Sheetla. On this day neither roti nor any fresh food is prepared at home.
Sharad Purnima
According to the scriptures, bread should not be made at home even on the day of Sharad Purnima. It is believed that on this day the moon is proficient in its sixteen arts. On the evening of Sharad Purnima, kheer is made and kept in the moonlight and it is taken as prasad the next morning. That’s why bread is not made on this day also.
on someone’s death
According to Hindu religion, if a person dies in the house, then the stove is not lit in the house on that day and bread is not made for thirteen days. Rotis are made in that house only after the thirteenth rites.
