bath ke pehley toh mom ne aaj tak sweet nahi diya..😆


Just a small bit is given prior to oil bath. After bath they give a specially prepared Leghyam, that has medicinal properties for all that sweet and savory snacks we indulge in during Diwali.

Even the oil that is applied on the head is specially made for Diwali, heated with some spices.

LOL... in my community... i hvnt seen any romantic encounter during the rituals... Bedroom is the only and last place fr romance... 😆 not even KC time


Any romancing outside the bedroom would generally get weird looks from others and maybe a CHEE behind the couple's back.😛😆

Helloz ... am a Punjabi but settled in Bangalore ... I know about the first Deewali is special in Iyengars .. have a friend and were discussing ... she also told about oil baht .. did not know that it will be public .. thanks to the thread ... got to know that that was CVs ka mood ... 😆

In North India also, the first Deewali after marriage is a big event .. the house is well decked up .. the couple ill wear new clothes ... gifts come from the girls side ... and of course all the lights and crackers and everything ...

Hahaha ... kya discussion chal raha hai ... talking about KC .. it depends ... lekin in my place KC is all a romantic affair ... and more than romantic a tease vaala affair .. after the pooja the ladies usually get together and the teasing part starts ... and believe me it is a group of old aunties to newly weds .. and the one or the other is made the scapegoat ...
normal cute conversations about mehndi ka rang, and what r u giving ur saas, or teasing about husband continues till sunset when everyone goes back to their respective homes ...

all in all it is a fun filled day when a community celebrates ... so I kind of enjoy it and of course find it romantic too 😳

😆 A little oil is applied on the head and the rest is done in private. But if CVs show it that way viewers won't see much, so they had Raman sit in the big brass vessel like he was the chicken about to be cooked😛😆. Such dishes are seen in the kitchen where wedding meals are prepared.😆

I burst out laughing when I saw Raman sitting in it. 🤣
