Dear Srimathi Yamini Suresh :
Sumangali PrArthana is a prayer to Sumangalis
by Sumangalis prior to an auspicious celebration
and Vaidhika Karma and especially an event with
special relationship to Ladies ( Pumsavanam ,
SeemanthOnnayanam and VivAham) . It is carried out by
a Sumangali , the ( woman) head of the household.
A few sumangalis are invited ( mostly realtives) ,
dheepa Poojai is done , Sarees and blouse bits ( Ravikkai)
are presented with ThAmboolam and Manjal (Turmeric) .
The invited Sumangalis and girls/ladies are served special
lunch with payasam , Vadai et al . Elder sumangalis are extended
NamskaraNams and their benedictions (aaseervAdhams :
dheerga Sumangali Bhava) are sought prior to their
departure home . It is more or less a ladies' day .
The customs vary at individual houeholds .
Others are requested to share their family experinces.
V.Sadagopan
