About Sandhi Shanti
Sandhi Shanti encompasses the Shastiabdapoorthi (completion of 60 years) and Saptathi (70 years) · milestone celebrations in Hindu tradition where the completion of a Saturn cycle brings powerful astrological significance. This elaborate puja is a second wedding ceremony for the couple, reaffirming their vows, offering gratitude to the divine, and seeking blessings for the next phase of life.
When to perform it
Performed when the individual completes 60 or 70 years of age. The exact date is calculated based on the individual's birth nakshatra and lunar calendar, not just the solar birthday. Please consult our pandit for the exact date calculation.
The South Indian procedure
South Indian Shastiabdapoorthi includes Ayushya Homa, symbolic re-enactment of the wedding ceremony (Punar Vivah), Ayushya Suktam recitation, and grand celebration. The couple is adorned like bride and groom.
This is the form our pandits follow by default in Siddhartha Layout — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.

Sandhi Shanti — common questions
What is the difference between Shastiabdapoorthi and Saptathi?
Shastiabdapoorthi is performed at 60 years and Saptathi at 70 years. Both mark the completion of Jupiter's or Saturn's full cycle and are considered major astrological turning points.
Is the lunar birthday or solar birthday used?
The Shastiabdapoorthi date is calculated using the lunar calendar (tithi and nakshatra), not the Gregorian solar calendar. Our pandit will calculate the exact date for you.
Can it be a combined event with a celebration party?
Yes. The puja is typically performed in the morning and the family celebration follows. We coordinate with event organizers to ensure everything runs smoothly.
