Today is Matatirtha Aunsi, the day to look at the mother's face. Mata Tirtha Aunsi is being celebrated all over the country with reverence, devotion, honor and respect for the mother. It is customary to get up early in the morning, take a bath, give gifts and sweets to your mother, look at her face and pray for her blessings.

Those who do not have a mother remember their mother by paying Shraddha in the name of their mother. They remember the deceased mother and the great and difficult work she did by giving tarpan and pinda to the mother and offering food to the priest.

A fair has been held at Matatirtha at Phedi in Chandragiri to commemorate the late mother. From early in the morning, there is a crowd of bathers in Matatirtha Kund. There has been a popular belief that children whose mothers have passed away will be freed from their debt if they participate in the fair and visit the kunda.
