Significance of Pickles

According to Purana, pickles are prepared from various fruits and ingredients that should be offered during specific months for propitiation. Historically in India, pickles refer to a traditional condiment famously introduced by Parvateesam to his landlady, which led to a comical misunderstanding. This highlights the cultural significance of pickles, both as a culinary element and as an integral part of rituals and social interactions in Indian history.
