Mythology Summary
Prithvi is the Vedic earth mother, the broad one, who is asked for permission and forgiveness in the daily rituals because she is trodden on. She is the ground as a mother who is owed an apology and rarely gets one.
Modern Practice
Prithvi is honoured before digging and at the harvest, with the request for pardon that the tradition requires. Her practice is the soil tended and the apology actually said.
