PANAKA PUJA
When you should do?
Right from the yugadhi to Vaishaka amavasya, You can do Panaka pooja on any day except on Ekadashis.
You can do panaka pooja on Dashami, Dwadashi, Pournami, Amavasa, or your Janma Nakshatra day are any other suitable days
Mostly I have seen people doing panaka pooja on dwadashi’s. As we consume paarana early in the morning, it would be nice to have panaka pooja in the noon time
when and how you should do?
Mostly this pooja is done around 3.30 to 4.00 pm in the evening. Invite relatives and friends to your home
Prepare dishes like Hunisehannu avalakki, Mosaru avalakki, Rava kesari, sandige, kosambari, panaka, butter milk(neer more), Fruit salads etc
Before serving to guests, do Neivedhya of the prepared dishes and fruits to parmathma and Give thamboola to brahmana , mutthaidharu.
As it is summer months(Chaithra & vaishaka), along with Panaka pooja vilyadhaladike, You can also plan to give dana items like Umbrella, Chappals, Udakumbha dhana etc
Udakumbha dhana
Uda-kumbha means giving drinking water with the pot(Copper/Brass)
This is a visesha dhana usually given during Summer months(Chaithra maasa and Vaishaka maasa)
Chant this mantra and give dhana
Esha dharmaghato data brahma Vishnu shivathmakah
Asyapradhana thrupthyanthu pitharassa pithamaha
Habba adige and how to serve it?
This posts is completely for beginners.
How to serve habba adige?
- Clean the floor where you are going to serve meal
- Pour water and make a square(Which is called as Mandal)
- place the leaf as pointed below
- Draw a small rangoli in front of the leaf
- Wipe the banana leaf with water
- Place the water cup on the left side of the leaf and fill it with water
- start serving the items mentioned in the order
- Initially all the items listed from 1 to 11(Refer pic attached below) will be served once
- Make sure you serve Rice and ghee after everyone is seated
- Give thirthe to men. After Men have done with chithravati , chant Govinda (Usually We used to say starting with doing smarane of family deity with Indiraramana Govindaa govinda …) and then other members can start eating
- The first dish to be consumed from the leaf is Payasa
- Give few minutes to finish payasa
- Start serving the main course(Kootu/Bisibela bath)
- Even if Bisibela bath is the main course, it is must to serve white rice in the leaf for men atleast(As they do chithravathi)
- After every course, You have to ask for rice again and again
- After serving kootu/bisibela bath, give few minutes and again ask whether more quantity is needed
- in between you can also ask for whether more palya,chithranna,ambode is needed
- After kootu is over, again ask for some more rice
- Then start serving Saaru
- Once saaru is done, Serve sweets(1 or 2)
- Give some time and serve payasa(For the second time in the meal)
- Now start asking for some more rice for Mosaranna
- Serve mosaru at the end.
There should not be any panthi beda(difference in serving). like for our dear ones serving more ghee , sweets, ambode than others is not a good way of serving the meal

Usually for habba, we dont prepare items using Rava(Rava kesari, Rava payasa etc) and we should not do Urad dal vada.
We dont prepare regular sambhar on festival days, We should do kootu, bisibela bath, majjige huli etc
Do Hari sankirthana in between the meal(usually we hear it in mutt at the end of dasara pada as “Bhojane kale sankirthana sri _____(deity name) jai jai”)
Generally till the men finishes their food, and wash their hands, Make sure all the others including kids are seated.
Usually at the end of the meal, we will generally put water over the unused salt and dissolve it(Marks the end of the meal)
As everyone know, when we eat habba adige(With sweets and payasa), we should not remove the leafs/plate immediately after finishing meal. We have to wash our hands and then only rest of the cleaning has to be done

Madhwa Marathi deshasthas
I wish to write a post on Marathi deshasthas for a long time. When someone sees us in Mutt/Temple speaking Marathi, The immediate question they ask with raised eye brows “Oh! neevu deshasthara?” And in Common weddings/Functions, Majority of Kannada people will start trolling Desasthas(As we are in minimum numbers). Though its funny most of the times, It is not sometimes. Few people pass comment on us as “Kayre kottre janagalu” (Sometimes I feel like, am i looking like an Alien or what? 😉 😉 )
And Those who did studies in Tamilnadu, Would have faced even more such situations from friend’s circle. “Oh you look Tamilian and You speak very good Tamil, How come you speak Marathi @ home and how you can be a Maharashtrian?” .
And those who have lived near Mumbai area, will start interviewing you in Marathi( who claim it as purest)as if you are submitting your PhD thesis.
I have answered many people around me @ Every stage of life,” I am Marathi desashtha, My roots are from Thanjore. Somehow migrated across south India for work long back (Three to four generations atleast) ” . In recent years I came to know the exact history of who we are?
Disclaimer: And the above statements are out and out my personal experience and I am not talking about everyone 🙂
When i was studying Middle school, we went on a family Yatra to Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Mandir(Our family deity) and pandrapur vittobha by Road Travelling through Karnataka(We Visited so many moola brindavanas). I was in the mindset as We know Marathi, We are going to easily manage our stay in Maharashtra. But it is not. Though we can understand the language, It was so hard to reply in a perfect sentence. Whatever we speak is a mix of Marathi + Tamil(And in these recent years,influence of English + Kannada also)
Yes We exists! We are Marathi speaking Madhwa Deshasthas. We are Dvaitha followers. Just because we speak a different language doesn’t mean we are different. We follow all the rituals and procedures and Philosophy of our Great Madhwa Doctrine
Who are We?
Ekoji-I or Venkoji was the younger half-brother of Shivaji and founder of Maratha rule in Thanjavur. The Marathi inscriptions of the Thanjavur temple dates the capture of Thanjavur to January 1676
WHEN the Mahrattas ruled Tamil Nadu from Thanjavur (their dynasty was founded by Chatrapati Shivaji’s half-brother Venkoji) for nearly two centuries from 1675, they encouraged a large number of settlers from the Deccan and Karnataka to consolidate their power in the South. Many Brahmins and Kshatriyas, known as Deshasthas, found their homes in the fertile Cauvery delta, Thanjavur and its neighbourhood.
The Hindu, Jan 15, 2000
A larger part of the migration of these people from their homeland to Tamil Nadu took place between 1712 and 1726, when Serfoji I invited the brahmins from his homeland and offered them vast lands. Records showed that the migrations ceased after 1855, says Yeshwanth Rao, a member of the Mahratta Education Fund (MEF), an organisation of this community.
The Times of India, Aug 7, 2012
Look at the origin of Sambhar:
One of the stories is that it originated in the kitchen of Thanjavur Marathas ruler Shahuji during the 17th century from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.[1] Shahuji trying to make a dish called amti, experimented with pigeon peas instead of mung bean, and tamarind pulp for kokum and the court named it sambhar after the guest of the day, Sambhaji, second emperor of the Maratha Empire

(Proud inventor of Sambhar)
