Chasni with malido

It is a tradition for chasni with malido to be served to the devotees present after a khushalinu jashan ceremony is concluded. However, only six out of 10 holy places do this after jashans to celebrate their respective salgirahs, while four of them do not, for reasons unknown.

There is a notable exception. The trustees of an agiary whose salgirah falls on Adar mah, Amardad roz, go out of their way to not only offer chasni with malido to those present, but also serve refreshments like sev or ravo, dar-ni-pori, cake, wafers and sandwiches followed by cold drinks.
