Indian Culture
The set that is given to ladies who participates in the ceremony.Oookkkk...I'm sure some of you out there wonder what is this thing in the tray with a yellow string, turmeric,bangles and red 'pottu".
Basically, these are the things that are needed in a ceremony which is done before the marriage. A ceremony called "nalanghu" will be done for the bride and the groom ( separately) before their marriage. Only ladies are allowed to participate in this ceremony. When the ceremony is done, the bride and the groom will give this tray to the ladies who participated.
Now, let me explain the meaning of each things in the tray:
Turmeric - Symbolises Gold ( people who have money will usually tie the Thali with Gold
Ornament)
Turmeric tied to a yellow string
Gold Ornament tied to the yellow string**************************************************************************************
Thali - A symbol oh Hindu marriage, consisting of a gold ornament strung from a yellow
thread.The word 'Thali" means an auspicious thread or chord. When a marriage is
arranged the pattern is usually chosen by the groom's family.

'Kumkum' pottu- All married woman has to use red 'pottu' as a symbol they are married.
On The wedding day the groom put the red 'pottu' for the bride.
Married ladies wear ' red pottu' after their wedding.

Bangles- Married ladies wear bangles as a symbol of matrimony.
Hence, for each and everything that we use in our culture conyeys a meaning. Therefore, i hope that all of you would have understand a bit about the Indian culture.
