On this day, the kitchen is closed as worship is done, and the stove is cleaned. Jude Sheetal translates to "freezing cold," Maithili New Year.

The day is celebrated to express gratitude to the Goddess and God of the harvest and to pray for bountiful rains and a good harvest. Since the chulha is put to rest and not used on the day of the festival, some special foods are prepared a day in advance for the celebration of Jud Sheetal. One such dish is Badi Kadhi or Badi Bhaat, which is eaten on the day of Jud Sheetal. This is a traditional Kadhi that is famous in Bihar and Mithila regions.
