southern impact

hey guys!!!

i think so the sagars r too much influenced by the southern culture....as the music played on the entry of ravan and dresses of the women in his court including that of mandodri is southern in style...

also the mangal sutra was popular in south only at that time which sitaji is wearing.....

what say???

well ravan and lanka was influenced by south culture so wat sagar r showing the dressing style everything is correct only sita wearing mangal sutra is wrong

yup lanka ppl are shown wearing the sothern costumes ,that is all right but shruti is there any default in sitaji's mangal sutra design????

no there is no fault in her mangalsutra design..the whole mangal sutra is wrong as at the time of ramayan mangal sutra was not worn by married ladies in the north side...and was only considered auspicious in southern part..

so sitaji wearing mangal sutra is not correct and factual

well sita i have mentioned this in my topic that mangalsutra was from south india married women from north dont wear mangal sutra i nort india women wear lot of jewelery and sindoor is ost imp thing thatwhy in ram sita wedding sagar show sindoor daan they dont show mangal sutra rasam but not sagar is showing sitaji wearing mangal sutra which is wrong instead of that they should show staji wearing jewwelery like neckless ,mangtika etc

umm..actually there was nothing known as mangalsutra as such in the south ...it wasn't black beads in the south..it was a yellow thread or a gold chain with some attached lockets ..because i'm a tamilian..and till date we don't USUALLY wear the black one ( though few do)..majority wear the golden chain or thread

the north indian-

yes there is a difference in the design of mangal sutra in north and south. But i think it was there in both culture.

no mangalsutra is basically from south and maharashtra north indian weddings dont have mangalsuta rasam

THANKS a bunch chilly ,shruti & vasihanavi for ur comments on sitaji's mangalsutra ,still women of north india don't wear mangal sutra , as i am from north india so i hv seen this ,even my mother ,my mausi ,my mami n all my aunties don't wear mangalsutra ,they only wear it on special festive occasions like a jewellery !!!!


i hv heard tht sitaji used to wear a specila ornament named SITAMANI !!! & tht she got as a gift from kaushlaya mata on her wedding to RAMA !!!!

SITAMANI considered auspicious from a wife's point of view for her husband !!!

I agree with Camella
Here in South Africa at least 60% of the Indians are of South Indian origin - and they dont use mangalsutras - they wear somnething called a thali - a yellow string with a gold locket. On the other hand all the north indianers here seem to wear a managsutra.

BTW I like the way Sagars have "southernised" Lanka since historically I'm sure Lanka was influenced by south Indian culture. Ihope they also show Kishkindha in a south Indian style
