Bhimaratha Shanti
Honouring the 70-year milestone
Bhimaratha Shanti is a family observance associated with the seventieth-year milestone, offering prayers for well-being and expressing gratitude for an elder’s life and guidance.
Children and grandchildren have an opportunity to honour the people who have held the family together. The meaning lies as much in showing care and receiving blessings as in arranging the ceremony beautifully. Plan comfortable seating and an unhurried gathering around the couple.
Confirm your final list, quantities and regional customs with your priest, including what the venue supplies. These products are sold individually, not as a complete ceremony kit.

Bhimaratha Shanti: meaning & preparation
How is this different from Shashti Poorthi?
Shashti Poorthi marks the 60-year milestone; Bhimaratha Shanti is associated with 70 years. Ask the priest to confirm the exact observance date using the family’s tradition.
Do the two garland entries mean four garlands?
The list has both special garlands and a second garland entry, each showing two. Confirm whether these are separate pairs before ordering; do not assume the entries are duplicates.
How do we choose quantities and pack sizes?
Use the ceremony quantities in the product notes, then choose enough retail packs. A quarter pound is about 113 g; one 100 g pack is short. Loose-flower pack weights cannot be converted directly from a request for bunches.
Do we need to buy every product shown?
No. Some cards offer alternatives, such as coconut types or lamp oils. Choose the option your priest requests, reuse suitable items you own and avoid buying every alternative.
Does this page include everything for the ceremony?
It includes matched products from our catalog and a separate list of requirements to arrange elsewhere. Review both sections and confirm any regional additions with the priest.
How should we organise the items on the day?
Separate powders, lamp supplies, flowers, offerings and vessels before the priest arrives. Keep food offerings separate from products intended only for worship, and retain the checklist for a final count.
What is the main purpose of Bhimaratha Shanti?
Bhimaratha Shanti is a family observance associated with the seventieth-year milestone, offering prayers for well-being and expressing gratitude for an elder’s life and guidance.
