Importance of the festival/event 

Shashti (Sanskrit: षष्ठी, Ṣaṣṭhī, literally “sixth”) is a Hindu folk goddess, venerated as the benefactor and protector of children. She is also the deity of vegetation and reproduction and is believed to bestow children and assist during childbirth. The worship of Shashti is prescribed to occur on the sixth day of each lunar month of the Hindu calendar. She is often depicted to be close to Skanda (Subramanya) and considered as Skanda Mata. On Shasthi and Kruthika tithi’s every month, Sri Subramanya abhishekam is performed at 6:00 PM.
