முக்கியத்துவம் மற்றும் வரலாறு

Shattila Ekadashi falls on the 11th day of the dark fortnight of Magh month and is named for the six different uses of sesame (tila) seeds on this day. According to the Bhavishya Purana, sesame is mixed with water for bathing, in food eaten, offered to fire, applied on the body, donated to others, and scattered around the home. Each use destroys different categories of sins.
