Shashtipoorthi (the 60th-year ceremony), bhima ratha shanti (70th) and sadabhishekam (80th) in Bangalore are a morning homa with a satvik leaf lunch for 100 to 500 and, often, a reception at night. RASA caters them like a small wedding: a dawn tiffin, the community's leaf from its own seat, and a two-counter dinner. About ₹300–₹900 a plate in 2026.
The 60th-year ceremony re-enacts the wedding, and the lunch that follows is the community's wedding leaf — Kannadiga, Tamil, Telugu or Kerala — cooked satvik for the elders who make up most of the room. The morning starts early with the homa; the tiffin seat starts at three. At night the children of the couple usually host a reception, and that is where the North seat, the chaat counter and the halwai come in.
The kitchen keeps two things in mind for this function that it does not for a wedding: portions that suit an older room, and a sweets table that is generous, because that is what the guests will remember.

Tell the kitchen about the shashtipoorthi
Date, head count, the cuisines you have in mind. Enough for the first reply to carry a menu and a number rather than a brochure.
What happens after you send the ticket
- A written reply, usually the same day. A first menu built for your occasion, the per-plate figure it comes to, and the two or three questions we need settled before the number is firm.
- A tasting. For weddings and events of size we cook the shortlist for you before you sign. Each cuisine on the menu is cooked by the chef who will cook it on the day.
- The plan for the day. Counters, service staff, timings against your muhurtham or your agenda, and the venue's rules on outside catering, checked with the venue by us.
