But somewhere along the way we just went an bollywoodised everything, so even regressive ones seem to be have been glorified. And the whole importance in given to packaging but none to the content. That’s why I spent time researching the meaning behind the rituals.
Raji - my bhabhi is Tamil and their wedding was all Tamil, my mother was slightly upset because she felt that some of our MP traditions should have been included, but my brother didn’t. He didn’t care, he just wanted to be married, he was to go for his Afghanistan posting the week after his marriage so his whole thing was, his wife is going to stay alone with his family, let her family at least have the wedding day to themselves, Me and my sister agreed and my mother relented.
They have Gowri puja too, I did a lot of research about it at that time, because my brother could not understand why is bhabhi doing a puja while all of us were eating breakfast. He was so upset.
True that.... Over Bollywood in everything has spoiled the basic logic of any tradition...
Your Bhabhi is Tamil, even I am.... 😁😁
