Are these south Indian rituals actually followed? - Page 3

Yes, for Deepavali, every one takes oil bath, wear new clothes, give sweets and savory snacks to family and friends and have a good meal with family and friends.

CVs used their creative licence ...wife never sits on husband's lap in any festival. During the wedding ceremony, almost a century ago, brides were teenagers so they sat in their father's lap at the time of kanyadhaan and groom tying mangalsutra. These days, the bride sits in front of father, bas.

CVs have got some rituals right and the rest they make up as they go along. 😆 They could always visit the forum and hear from Iyers here at least about how the general protocol of festivals and pooja are done.😃

We should keep this thread active to EVALUATE Iyer and Punjabi traditions. 😛 We can always call out CVs when they veer too far from the way things are done.

It grates on my nerves everything Madhu Iyer refers to Raman as "marumagan" when the actual term is "maapillai". Marumagan is not a term used by the Iyer community.😃

Btw, the term Aiyoo is considered "ashub" and not like Madhu Iyer and Ishita do at the drop of a hat.
