Madhur Matka (Maharishi MSS) is an award winning Indian Monthly
Magazine. It is written by Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Jyotika SAR Manjishtha. The

It has been in circulation for the past fifteen years. The Magazine has many

The Madhur day panel chart is on the first page. This chart
depicts the monthly popularity of the various deities that are worshiped in
India. For example, Durga Puja is celebrated on the 3rd day of Magh (January)
and Ashuswami (Shiva) on the 7th day of Bhaj (February). The other important
sections of the magazine include Health, Lifestyle, Education, Home, and

The Mad hur day panel chart of Sabyasaachi Mukherjee Jyotika
Samskari (January) shows the progress of the Hindu goddess Durga Puja
throughout the year. Durga Puja is one of the most popular festivals of India
and is celebrated with great devotion all over the country. In this chart, the
goddess Durga is seated on a golden pot that is adorned with flowers. A portion
of this pot has been covered with gold leaf and the portion on which the
goddess is seated is colored gold.
The Mad Hur day panel chart of Sattva Mukherjee Jyotika Samskari
(March) is another example of devotional items being used to celebrate the
Hindu festival of Sattva. The Madur Purnima Yatra is celebrated with much
devotion and affection by millions of Hindus across the country and it is
celebrated with great pomp and grandeur by the people of Andhra Pradesh. In
this panel, the lord Krishna is seen sitting on a chariot pulled by oxen. He is
being chauffeured by a group of palace servants who crown this chariot with red
and green pennant that is festooned with lights. The pennants of Andhra Pradesh
are known to be rich in colors as they are usually made of gold, silver and
jewels. The main features of this pennant include the two-toned golden yellow
color that signify prosperity and abundance and the pink and blue colors that
mean 'serenity and joy'.
The Madur Purnima Yatra and Sattva Mukherjee Jyotika Samskari
(months) are other significant events in the calendar. During Sattva, the lord
Krishna rides deer into the house of Vrindhavan where the cowherds feed him
with alms. The Madur Purnima Yatra is held at the close of the Hindu month of
Magadh (January), where the whole city comes alive with a huge atmosphere of
joy and celebration. It is one of the most popular festivals in India that
marks the end of the Hindu month of Magadh and the arrival of the elated lord
Krishna in South India.
In the tradition of Lord Krishna, there are much serene dancing
and music. All the devotees, both the family members and the friends, form a
large procession which slowly negotiates the length of the path of the lord
Krishna. After reaching the place where the lord is, the people proceed to sit
on the dais where the lord is seated and blessed by him with sweetmeats and
lotus flowers. All those on the path of the lord bow down to pray for the
long-term boon of the lord Krishna and take the anointing oil with them so that
they can protect themselves and the near and dear ones from the destructive
wrath of the lord.
