I was reading the updates.....and there is an episode of A refusing to throw the rice over her head b/c it means she will be breaking the bonds with her maayka.....
NOW where did the writers get this from?
Girls are supposed to symbolize Laxami/wealth/prosperity...and b/c the girl is leaving for the first time....it is just a way of preventing the girl from taking all the luck with her....as she kinda makes sure she does not leave the house all empty...and after her they don't struggle/suffer (don't go hungry etc....or business losses).
When she throws it over her head, she is just making sure the prosperity doesn;'t leave them.....
At least that was what I was told!
Any other views on this matter?
