Ratha Sapthami Ritual Bath
Importance of Ratha Sapthami Ritual Bath:
Reason:
Regi/ green berry fruit has certain enzymes which benefit us, jilledi/ swallow-wort leaf have many benefits and we used on the head which in turn helps us in many ways. Chemicals present on jilledi/ swallow-wort leaf will strengthen the root of the hair, cools the scalp. That's why people try to bath in the river or if not possible at least in a home on Ratha saptami. This ritual is followed with devotion around Andhra region.
Why do we bath small child putting on our legs
Bathing a small baby is a big task. That's why we find the child bath is performed by our aunt or parental age people. If water enters into the nose or ears, it is difficult and dangerous for a child. That's why we need to perform a bath of a child with hot water putting them on our legs.
We need to apply oil to the body and massage the body at least half an hour before the bath. We need to apply nalugu pindi ( a mixture of pesara pappu, chanaga pappu) and apply amadam on the head. If we follow these rules and bath them on our legs children normally don't cry.
While applying oil, nalugu pindi and massage the body of a child, he will get enough exercise. The child will grow healthy, strong and look beautiful.
