Shashtipoorthi marks the husband's completion of 60 years of life, the closing of a full Hindu calendar cycle. Reaching this milestone with one's spouse alive is treated as the blessing that calls for ritual renewal. The centrepiece of the day is Punarvivaha, where the priest formally remarries the couple in front of the children, grandchildren, and extended family. The husband and wife wear wedding attire again, the mangalsutra is retied, and the saptapadi may be performed symbolically.
The day is usually a multi-meal affair. Five priests are traditionally invited (the four cardinal directions plus a central officiant), and they are fed first as the morning rituals close. By midday the immediate family shares a sattvic meal. By evening many families host a full reception with veg + non-veg menus, sometimes scaling to 500 plates. Cake-cutting and family tributes are now common at the evening reception. The children of the couple usually host and fund the day as a tribute to their parents.
