Manabasa Thursday Osha (also known as Manabasa and Maan Osha) is an agricultural festival celebrated in Odisha. During this time, Mahalakshmi is also worshiped at home to increase wealth. Oriya women observe this Osha in the month of March. This worship is not practiced in other countries and states. Manabasa Osha is also called Lakshmi Puja. This Osha is celebrated by people of all castes in Odisha. At this time, Lakshmi is imagined as a symbol of wealth, batsalya and mercy, and is considered to be the lord of the house, prosperity, cleanliness and so on. In the month of March, the house of worship is decorated with paddy ments or “paddy fields”. This menta or beni is made from dhunkenda. The name “Manabasa” is based on the standard set. Standards are used to measure grain, such as rice. Oshati is known as Manabasa because it is worshiped by placing rice in it. The festival is celebrated in the same manner in various tribal societies of Odisha. Santals worship “Iru mamane”, Bhuyans worship “Magushi’s Thursday Halba”, Ho and Omanatya worship Lakshmi. Women who do not have children at this time perform kanji alaa or “dry bride” or “sixty osha” in the hope of having children.
Humanity is described in the Lakshmi Purana of the legendary Balaram Das on Thursday. According to this, Lakshmi, who was surrounded by slaves, one day, with the permission of Manabasa on Thursday from her husband, traveled to the country after Brahmani and won from the big bank. He went from house to house to find out who was worshiping him. He arrived at a Chandaluni house called Shriya after seeing that many rich, big people had forgotten that Thursday. By cleaning the house and wiping it, Shriya was arranging for her worship, arrangements and offerings. Lakshmi was fascinated by his devotion and stayed there. Hearing this, Balarama became angry. The gates of the temple were closed to Lakshmi as she entered the house of Chandaluni, who was considered untouchable in the society at that time. Humiliated, he left the house. Kalia-Baliya (Jagannath-Balabhadra) will teach the two brothers the right lesson if they bet on the way. At Lakshmi’s behest, another palace was built on the beach, and Talbatal looted everything from the temple and turned it into a shrine. Unable to eat, the two brothers starved and finally reached the front of the palace. Disappointed with the hospitality of the mistress, they sought the mistress / mistress. The two brothers felt embarrassed when they found out. Lakshmi rushed to the shrine after promising that the people of the sanctuary would not be barred from entering the house or that there would be no untouchable discrimination.
