Shravan ka mahina

Actor Sameera Reddy indulges her sweet tooth during the ongoing auspicious period, this month
| ||
Considered to be the most auspicious period of the
year, according to the Hindu calendar, Shravan is defined best by the
trademark traditional vegetarian dishes and sweets. Actor Sameera Reddy,
who goes off non-vegetarian dishes around this time, gorges on sweets.
“The highlight of any Indian festival or auspicious season, is the food
associated with it,” she says. “And the shravan fest brings to the
table some sweets that Isimply cannot resist — like doodhi halwa,
sabudana kheer.”
Fessing up to having a sweet tooth, she digs into a bowl of dates and sweet potato halwa. “Festive binging is any way justified, right?” she laughs. “I am a big-time foodie... I totally enjoy food — both cooking and eating. I’m a pro in the kitchen and believe me I’m amazing with Indian cuisine!” she reveals. Besides the gastronomic delights, the month-long period — during which the shravan star rules the sky — is also associated with prayers. Mondays are specially dedicated to Lord Shiva, bel leaves and flowers. And Sameera emphasises that she loves to take part in the tradition rituals and pujas associated with it. “It’s such a happy feeling to pray and indulge at the same time! The whole food and prayer thing together makes for such a beautiful combination,” says the actor.  |
