In the month of Kartik, Brahmin widow women go away from home on any religion and spend a whole month and people spend full time in worship.
In this month, Brahmin Bidhaba women keep fast, for the whole month, women eat only once, which is called Habish, the rest of the time women spend much of their time in worship.
Habisarna
Garlic, onion, potato, tomato etc. are not used in the food that is prepared in the whole month. It is called Habisann.
Habish Dalma
A vegetable is made with Habisanna, which is called Habish Dalma. This Dalma is made by adding some independent types of vegetables to the dal like raw banana, arbi etc.
Chhadakhai
The days after Kartik Purnima are considered to be the first day of Margashirsha month, because on this day all the restrictions on people's eating and drinking are removed. Just like those who wish to eat those people who are restricted to eat once a day and those who do not want to eat all these things are not there. That is why it is called Chhadkhai meaning leaving food.
But slowly this thing has started going wrong, as people have started believing it, nowadays this day is for eating Amish. So many animals are cut and eaten on this day. People believe on this day that it is right to eat Amish on this day which is a wrong thing.
