Jamai Sasthi (Bengali: জামাই ষষ্ঠী) is a traditional cultural ritual of Bengali Hindus. This ritual is performed on the sixth tithi of the Shukla paksha of the Joishtho month. On this day married women and their husbands are invited and entertained by women's parents. In this way, in an attempt to keep the son-in-law happy, the mundane tradition of Shashthi Puja has become the festival of Hindu Bengali's Joishtho month.
