Kshatra-varyu holiday (10/09)

The gahanbar is followed by the festival of Kshatra-Varyu (Shahrivar).

This happens on September 10-11 when the Sun passes through 16 degrees Virgo. On this day, warriors, blacksmiths, and masons are honored. It is supposed to work with metals and consecrate weapons.

Ordalia is arranged: plaques are cast from molten tin directly on the chest of the competition participants. And if a man is truly strong (that is, he has a powerful and controlled ethereal body), then this will not cause him any harm, there will be no burn.

According to the ritual, there is rough food (the food of warriors) — stews, porridge made from coarse grain, as well as spicy — onions and garlic.

14 lights are lit, you can have two parallel rows of 7.
