Even in South India the Satya Narayan Vrat is the same procedure as in North India with pooja and katha (story) reading. There is no havan kund for it unless they are doing ganapati homam or ayush homam. ๐Ÿ˜†


Or Sudharshan homam.๐Ÿ˜ƒ CVs are using their creative license to rewrite Iyer traditions. They need to be aware that even vocabulary of Tamil Brahmins is different from the Tamil spoken around town.

Another blooper y'day was Amma introducing Raman as "marumagan"๐Ÿค” instead of "mapilai" ๐Ÿ˜ƒthe way Iyers do. Mihika and Vibhu are playing pranks with "feed the prasadam with wife on his lap" and the elders ignore it๐Ÿ˜‰. Public displays of affection esp. by a married couple is not part of Iyer tradition.๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜†

Also, receiving anything or feeding with left hand is a big no-no.๐Ÿค“

It's actually Kancheepuram, the name of the town where silk sarees were first woven decades ago.

Yup I know. I am a Tamilian too ๐Ÿ˜†

The place is Kanchipuram and the sarees are called Kachivaram derived from the British name given to the city, Conjevaram. It was commonly used so both Kaanchivaram and Kaanchipuram is correct. It's like Madras and Chennai. ๐Ÿ˜†

Yup any homams have havan kund.

Oh yes CVs have taken ample creative license ๐Ÿ˜†. Oh I have stopped trying to post the Tamil they use in the show which is clearly not "Tamil Brahmin" types ๐Ÿ˜†

Mihika (seems she's part-Tamilian) speaks the best Tamil though she calls her Perima Peri-amma๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Ishu has been improving recently and so has Mrs. Madhu Iyer. Best was Raman calling Sowmya Chi-thi on the phone, was perfectly enunciated.๐Ÿ‘ Ishu's perfect enunciation was "shaniyane"๐Ÿ˜†, it was right on.๐Ÿ‘

I'm not too sure if Mihika is half-Tamilian. But yes her pronunciations are impeccable. I call my Perima as Periamma. The word is Periya and Amma joined together but when you say it fast it sounds like Perima ๐Ÿ˜†

After Mihika I would applaud KP for his almost impeccable Tamil speech.

DT and Neenaji follow after. But yes both had immensely improved ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
