Bhima Ratha Shanthi (70th Birthday Pooja) - Online Iyer

When the male in the relationship reaches the age of 70, the family members do Bhima Ratha Shanthi (70th Birthday Pooja) and celebrate it by gathering together and performing Ayul Shanthi homams, Kalasa abhishekam, and the exchange of garlands for the pair to receive the Lord’s blessings.

Bhima Ratha Shanthi is also known as “Ayul Shanthi Homam,” which increases the couple’s lifetime and provides them with strength and good health. This aids the couple’s spiritual growth by washing away their previous misdeeds and negative karma.

On this day, all of the couple’s relatives and friends gather at a function hall, temple, or even their home to witness the ceremony, which includes a family deity pooja, 9 homams, including Ganapathy, Lakshmi, Amurtha Mrityunjeyar, Ayush, Danvantri, and others, and then Kalasabhishekam, after which the couples exchange garlands.
