Usually nichayathartham will take place in groom's house. Bride's parents will come there with thamboolam, fruits, flower, sweet,(like milk halva) 500 grams, manjal 100 gram, kumkumam 50 gram, sandal powder 5 gram, Grooim's parents will receive them , provide the bride's parents with lunch and coffee, exchange thamboolam, each other , Then they will left the groom's house. That is all. Again this will be done the previuos day of the marriage.

To fix best muhoortha day without 21 doshas it will take time on those days. On those days groom side people also will go to another place where they can get more money.

But now-a- days everything has changed. WE have to see the marriage mandapam first and according to the availability of the mandapam we are fixing a date for marriage. Now a days Brides are asking so many questions. such as how many waste paper are there in your house.

But very rich people are doing this in a grand manner. Groom's parents are arranging in kalyana mandapam. Rent and meals/tiffin expenses are borne by the groom's father. to be continued

namaste shri gopalan sir, the work and time you have given for this new thread is very useful & i feel its a guide sort for all indians and those who are abroad .this shows your keen work skill and your dedication to it.thank you once again sir.
 
Sir if you can make all your publications in a book type we can download and keep it in our computer under library for ready reference. You are doing great help to mankind and god bless you sir.
 
Dear Kgopalan sir,
I have a request for you regarding Sashtiabthapoorthi celebrations. Sorry for using this thread.
My sisters husband is completing 60 years on 12.10.2012 as per the tamil star Magam. However his only son is in USA and will not be in a position to come on that day. He is planning to come in november. Can the sashtiabthopoorthi be celebrated in the next month star ie 08.11.2012.
 
Very aptly put, Sir, as regards the availability of kalyana mandapams. I would like to seek your valuable guidance on a issue regarding this. My son is getting married in November, 2012. It is an arranged wedding. After checking with the Sastrigal, we were given 4/5 dates in Nov. based on the stars of the bride and the groom. The bride's people went round their place for days together(which is a small place) and most of the mandapams were booked or were not suitable. Finally they found a good mandapam based on one date and paid an advance for it. Now, we are told that the previous day happens to be the sraadam of the Kollu Thaatha of the boy. The grooms' father's thaatha. Even father's father has passed away almost 40 years ago. Moreover, due to the old age of the sonsof the departed soul, the devasam is performed only as hirranya sraadam. I remember reading that certain strictures are followed only for three generations. In this case, the groom is the fourth generation. Moreover, maapillai azhaippu is loukikam and should we be following this? Sir, pl throw some light on this.
 
no problem. you can do( loukekaam) mappillai alaipu .Before Marriage kula deivam kovil ponga; do Sumangali prarthana and samaradhanai. Previous day to Marriage vradham. nandhi must be done.
 
Dear Shri K. Gopalan sir,

Namaskarams,

Our kuladeivam is vaitheesavaran koil. We are actually not knowing who is our kuladeivam whether Vaidyanathar or Muthukumaraswamy? While visiting temple we used to put pazavilakku to Thaiyalhayagi ambal and I want to know if we do samaradhanai to whom we have to do the pooja? whether the photo of vaidyanadhaswamy or muthukumaraswamy?

Thank you in advance.
 
Sir, thanks for your immediate response and guidance. We intend having Sumangali Prarthanai with the new bride after the kalyanam. Is it ok or should we have it before, in the present circumstances. Nandi anyway has to be done as the Upanayanam of my son has to be conducted sometime before the wedding.
 
Namaskarams,

For Mr. Ramanathan's question - Post no.16. The samaraadhani should be to Vaidheeswara swami only. (i.e. thaiyalnayaki ambal sametha shri vaidheeswara swami) We also do samarathani to vadheeswaran Koil.

For Saroram question - post no.17- Sumangali Prarthanai should be done before the marraige celebrations. Any subha celebrations should be preceeded first by Sumangali prarthanai and then samaradhanai.

SUMANGALIM PRARTHANAI/ MANGALI PONDUGAL DETAILS:
SUMANGALI PONDUGAL In the book dharma sastra sangraham written by s. v.radha krishna sastrigal and published by surabi jagatguru sathapthi publications chennai 33 in 6th chapter page 220 sraatha devargal are there. to control pithrus in pithru lokam. There are 8 vasukkal, 11 rudhras and 12 audhithyargal,

Pitrus are coming : father in the form of vasu, grand father in the form of rudhrar and fathers grand father in the form of audhithyar. these persons are named as pithrus. There is another devar group.they are 12 in numbers. In the yearly sratham 2 viswedevars are escorting pitrus and they are called pruruvar and ardhravar.

During mahalaya sraatham time thuru and ruchi viswedevar are escorting pitrus. During naandhi mukha pithru sraatham sathyar and vasu named viswedevars are escorting pithrus. during sapindeekarana sraatham kaalar and kaamar named viswedevars are escorting the pitrus. For sraatham of sanyaasis viswedevars are called saadhu and guru. In yaagams kradhu and dhakshar are viswedevar escorting pithrus.

The wifes of these viswedevar and their young female children are requested to give their blessings for the children who are going to have upanayanam or marriage.

This function is called sumangali prarthana or sumangali pondugal.

In the family if a lady expires as sumangali every year immediately after the next sratham day sumangali prarthana should be done.




Some families are lucky and they ae getting blessings every year by doing sumangali prarthanai. If a lady expires on dasami or on chathurdasi day the next day will be ekadasi day or amavasai day. ladies are refusing to take oil bath on amavasai day. oil bath with pure gingilly oil should not be taken. Mix some water and ghee with gingilly oil and then it can be used for oil bath. or heat the gingilly oil pour 2 milagu (pepper) and thulasi leaves or /and a piece of betel. now it becomes thailam. no restrictions are there to use thailam . they can use this for oil bath.

Just like naandhi this is done for ladies . In naandhi viswedevars who are escorting pithrus are pleased and they are giving their blessings. Their wives and young female children are invited during this sumangali prarthana to get their blessings. This is also equal to nandhi sratham.

In olden days each family will have 6 female and 5 or more male children. so they will call their married daughters for this function. Minimum 5 including swamy elai and 2 kanni pon elai are required. This should be given to the very poor class brahmin sumangalis.(9 yards sarees with blouse with saapaadu who are not in your gothram). But if you are requested to give this to your married daughter you will be happily do this.

Now a days only two children one male and one female or both males or females. for the future generations They have to call other brahmin sumangalies from other gothrams. For sratham also same gothram sastrigals should not sit in pithru sthaanam.

You may request your sastrigal on the sratham day itself to give you 5 or 7 plantain leaf dhonnai for sumangali prarthana. and you can use it on sumangali prarthana day for the sumangalis. you may invite them by giving oil, vasanai podi, shikakai powder and manjal thool even one week before.

For those who are doing ocaasionally before their children's poonal or maariage they have to see the following auspicious day to do this.
months aadi, purataasi, margali and masi months should be avoided.

except tuesday and saturday all other days are o k for doing this.

The daughters in law are not allowed to sit as pondugal because of same gothram. This may vary with aathu palakkam and ooru palakkam Washing of brass vessals and trays and kuthu vilakku and gas stove will be there on the previous night.

On the morning of the day wash the entrance of the house and draw maavu kolam kalyana kolam and put semman and place mango leaf bunches on the main door. The eldest sumangali person of that house is the kartha. the kartha and her daughter in laws will not take oil bath. The kartha wil take snaanam and then only the 9 yards saree and a blouse bit will be drenched in water facing east after having applied manjal podi , kumkumam and a drop of oil shikakai powder and spin to dry and then spread it to make it dry with thalaipu not facing south.in the auspicous time that is after seeing gowri panchangam. in the auspicious time put a palagai request the sister or boys/girls father's sister to sit on the palagai give her kumkumam and place oil on her head and sumangali pondugalaga varikkavum.



let us name the place where we are going to place the saree as pudavai kalam. put a square maavu kolan on the floor over that put a palagai and put mavu kolam on that. In front of that put a mavu kolam to place the nuni elai; on both sides of the pudavai kalam put maavu kolam for 2 nuni elais beside for elais facing north or east or west.

Fold the dry saree or kosuvi so that the pallu comes on the top . the corner of the same should not face south.fold the blouse and keep it above the saree. then keep the following. one medium size or big size mirror. on one tray place 100 betels, more kali pakku, urundai manjal in plenty, banana fruits about 12 in nos and flowers.10 yards of thodutha pushpam malli or kadambam and roses, in another tray put maruthani, nalangu mavu, sukku vellam, put gold chain or other gold ornaments above the saree.

place a brass kudam filled with water and elaikai powder. some family will put dry ginger powder also. one sombu paanakam with cardamom powder and one sombu neer mor with curry leaves and coriander leaves salt and kadugu thaalippu. family custom will differ here also.2 coconuts pasted with manjal powder.keep the pavadai thundu and ravikai thundu for the kanya pen should also placed here.

dakshinai coins to be given to these pondugal.with betel and betel nut glass bangles, manjal kumkum eyetex; maruthani mirror and comb.on the kolam in front of the pudavai kalam put double nuni elai (after washing all the nuni elais with water) one overlapping the other as you are doing for sratham. elai nuni should not face south. On other mavu kolams place nuni elai and drinking water.

Start before or after rahu kalam. When the ladies arrive, give them turmeric powder and water to wash their legs and applyturmeric powder and come.Then give them chandanam kumkumam flowers and ask them to sit or stand as per family custom near the nuni elais..


Offer all items of menu to the pudavai kalam first and then serve to all clockwise without ending in south direction. Show doopam and deepam to pudavai kalam first and then to all clockwise without ending in south direction.after taking oil bath before starting taking food in the nuni elai these pondugal should not take any food or water or coffee. Because they should not pass urine or hoding urine in the bladder which will irritate them .

so before applying oil on their head they have to take milk or fruits as now a days all are having diabetus. The conducting person now should take in the hand manjal akshadai,flowers, manjal podi,chandanam, kumkumamand a uthirini of water sprinkle below the pallu of the saree in the pudavai kalasam and (in mind) pay respects to all the deceased members of the family by calling their names and also tell arindava ariyathava therindava theriyathva ellorum sapida varungal enru alaikka vendum then tell if there is any fault or deficient forgive me and help me and bless us in the coming marriage or poonal pour the akshadai and flowers and chandanam and kumkumam on the kalasa pudavai do pradhakshina namaskaram facing the pudavai.

Do neivedhyam to the swamy (pudavai) eleai with broken coconut banana fruits and thamboolam. Then camphor karpoora arathi to swamy elai and then to all pondugal. In some families no kalpoora harathy. Then offer one uthirni of water from pancha pathram first to the swamy elai and then to each pondugal on their right hand. they have to drink this all in the same time. then saapaadu can start. after meals is over for all the sumangalis pour one uthirini of water first to swami elai and then to all and they have to take in the same time. nobody should get up half way through.

move the pudavai kalamto north. After the meals the ladies should br given neer mor, paanakam, sukku vellam. then smear haldi on their legs and put nalangu on their legs,offer flowers chandanam kumkumam.give them thamboolam and chunnam. keep in a plate the gifts=for each betel pakku banana dhakshinai, blouse bit co conut with husk gundu manjal,c omb,mirror, glass bangles,eyetex,maruthani, give this on their pallu (pudavai thalapu)

Give manjal akshadai on their hand do namaskaram and ask them to bless.you. give the dhaavani to the kanya pon who will be your grand daughter. The kartha and the other daughter in law of that house will share the swamy elai meals.These pondugals should not take food at that night. they can take fruits and milk.

In the evening in an auspicious time the daughter of that family or sister in law will wear the pudavai and then after sometime it will be placed on the palakai. only on the next day the pudavai will be given to the daughter of the family or to some poor class people according to the family custom. If the daughter is not wearing 9 yards daily that 9 yards may be taken by the daughter in law or sister in law and a 6 yards saree will be given to the daughter.

In some family this pudavai is kept in the loft in a mud pot and in the next time when they are doing this the old one from loft will be used by the daughter and the new one will go to the loft with the mud pot.

In the evening in an auspicious time the daughter of the kartha or the sister in law member of that family must do like this and also male members after taking bath should do as written above, decorate both the mirror and saree and M I L "S photo with thodutha pushpam and in some families they are putting marapachi in front of the mirror,
 
Gopalan Sir,

Thanks for your detailed post about nitchayadhartham. Can you please let us know what are the silver utensils that the bride's parents should buy?

Is is necessary to buy chandana pela, kumkuma chimizh, panneer sombu, plate, kuthu vilakku, sombu in silver and should it be taken to the groom's house and used for the nitchayadhartham?

what kind of clothes should we buy for the groom and his parents? Should it be very grand like pattu podavai, pattu veshti. Can we buy pant shirt for the groom or should it be veshti only?

Is it necessary to give gold chain to the groom?

Should we leave all the silver items in the groom's house or can be bring it back with us?

I am assuming that we leave all the other eatables such as paruppu thengai, theratu pal, almonds and other dry fruits etc in the grom's house, or can we bring them back as well?

Your advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Vanaja
 
Everybody should buy according to their financial status. If you are very very rich you can buy pattu veshty and pudavai. If not you can buy to the groom's parents dhoty 8 mulam and one thundu. or pant and shirt and one saree ordinary or chudithar if they are wearing it now a days.

For groom pant and shirt you can purchase according to the choice of the groom. If the groom's parents are not going to give to the bride's parents dhoty and saree then you need not give to them dhoty and saree. It is a must only for groom.

For silver items You have to purchase most importantly kumkuma chimil, chandana pela, pancha pathra uthirini plate, and small kinnam to pour milk and fruit. metty and golusu. If you are rich and also demands from groom's parents you have to purchace sombu( if there is varalakshmi vratham in their family) and kuthu vilakku. panner sombu is not at all necessary. they are not going to use it.

take kumkuma chimil and chandana pela use it during nichayathartham time and hand over it to the groom's mother . They will bring it to the marriage hall. All other silver items plate, kinnam, pancha pathra uthirini you may bring them to the on the previous day of the marriage. request them and speak with them about this and as per their advice you have to do it as you are bride's mother.

As per financial status of individual rich people will give gold chain to the groom, Midddle class people will never give.

As per the advice of the groom's mother you may leave the silver items or take them home it is the safer poceedure for you.

you have to leave all the eatables, paruppu thengai, sweets, fruits and dry fruits in their house . they will distribute them to their relatives who were attended the function.They will return the paruppu thenkai container to you. Act as per the demand of groom's parents and as per their family proceedure , they will be convinced.
 
Shri Gopalan,

Thanks very much for your detailed advice. one last doubt I have is, how to choose the date for the nichayadhartham? Can it be any date of our convenience or should we choose a date based on boy and girl's star?

Thanks in advance
 
Dear Gopalan Sir,

Is there a special way of fixing the date for the Nitchayadhartham such as taking into account boy and girl's stars, or we can fix on any date that is convenient to us.

Thanks for your help in advance.
