Karma Jatni was very keen to feed God. She made a special meal (Kheech) and offered it to a stone God. She appealed to him to eat. She pledged that till he ate she would neither take food nor drink water. She even covered her head with her dress to make a curtain in between in case God was shy to come. God got worried for her so he came and ate the meal. In this way she was blessed and gained recognition even though she was a Jatni. Every year this day is celebrated and Kheech is cooked in every household on Makarsankranti day.
