Shashtiabda poorthy is celebrated 1. socially to acclaim the acievements and fullfilments of one's life targets-This one can be celebrated by a widow or widower. 2. Prayaschitha karmas and remarriage. -Prayaschitha karmas can also be done anybody and remarriage cannot be.

Explanation.: Why prayascitham on 60th birth day? Ans: On this day the alignment of planets occur the same way as they were on the birth date. hence it is assumed that the person is getting a rebirth. Hence it is considered auspicious to do prayascitha karmas on this day to remove the sins associated with various karmas we have done or not done during the 60 years. Since it is a rebirth a remarriage also is conducted in case of man or woman whose husband is living.

2ith best wishes for the function
