The word Joggi is derived from Jagna, a term used to describe big programs which are conducted in Bengali households, especially in the ghoti houses. These programs are often referred to as Anusthan and are celebrated with great enthusiasm. As per the traditions and customs, a special meal is prepared on these occasions, and in a typical non-vegetarian Bengali family, Mangsho plays a major role in the menu. Mangsho is cooked during the big programs ranging from Annaprashana to Shradh, marking important life events such as the beginning of life and the end.
