PAANAK AND KOSAMBARI FOR SRI RAMA NAVAMI
On April 6, we celebrate -Sri Rama Navami , an important festival for us Hindus in India. This day celebrates the birth of Sri Rama/Shri Ram, one of our most revered deities. This year the age old festival has attained greater significance. This is because on January, 22, 2024, the idol of Shri Ram was consecrated in the famous Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
This festival is celebrated all over India. Each region has its own traditions in celebrating the festival.
One of the items we Gowda Saraswath Brahmins traditionally make is what we call Paanak in my mother tongue, Konkani.
Another item popular in my Home State of Karnataka is Cucumber and Dal Kosambari.
In Karnataka, a popular dish made during this season is Maavinkayi Chitranna or Raw Mango Rice.
Enjoy the joyous celebration of Sri Rama Navami on April 6. Jai Sri Ram !
