Raja Parba
A three-day observance traditionally celebrating womanhood and the fertility of Mother Earth, with agricultural work paused.
A family crosses this threshold once. This is how it is crossed with intention rather than in a hurry.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours will be confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
Who performs Raja Parba?
Traditionally performed by the family itself, led by the household's senior member — no purohit is required. House of Purohit doesn't supply the officiant for this ceremony directly. Talk to a Pandit and we'll explain how families arrange it.
