Why Is Stale Food Offered to Sheetala Mata?
According to religious beliefs, Sheetala Mata likes stale food very much. Therefore, a day before, after taking a bath in the night, curd, rice, curry, halwa, puri, a kheer, etc., are first offered to Mata Shitala, i.e., they are offered as bhog, and they are consumed the next day.
