Dear SrI KrishNaswamy :
Pavithram ( Dharbai or Gold or Silver)
has to be worn on the ring finger , Right
hand .In our hands , thumb represents Vaayu ,
Indes finger , the Sky , Middle , the element of
Fire , the Ring finger , the appu or Water and
the small finger , Pruthvee tattvam .
The significance of Water is celebrated
in Mantra Pushpam and Udhaka Saanthi
Mantrams . That is the significance of
the Ring Finger for wearing Pavithram .
Once the cleansing arising from
the observance of Vaidhika Karma
by one wearing Pavithram made of
Kusa grass is over , the pavithram has to be
discarded . During Achamaneeyam time ,
it has to be held over the right ear .
Please refer to additional details at:
For Vaidhika KarmAs , Only Pavithram
made of Dharbham is to be used .Gold
Pavithram with just a Thousand year history
going back to Taantric worship in Kerala
has no place in Vaidhika KarmAs .
In Kerala , the goldsmith makes
these Pavithram rings with 3 lines representing
the three Naadis ( Ida , Pingala and Sushumna) ,
the knot ( Trimoorthys in their tradition)
and the 7 dots on both sides of the knot
represnting the Saptha rishis ( Mareechee ,
Vasishta , Ankeeras , Athri , Pulasthya ,
Pulakan and Krithi) . The pattern is copied
by Tamil Naadu Jewelers now . Ladies also
use them now as a jewelery . Although the ladies
wear them as Jewelery , they are expected to remove
it during their Bahishtai time . The Goldsmith who
makes it has to observe certain niyamams
duringthe time of making these gold pavithrams .
Gold Pavithram can be worn on the hand of the male
at all times since it has no Vaidhika significance and
sanctifying power like Kusaa grass pavithram .
Please ask a local Bruhaspathi to demonstrate
how to make a Pavithram from the Dharbham .

Dear Vasu Vadhyar Swamin
Adiyen Srinivasa Dasan Prnams
I have a few queries on gold pavithram ring
Should the pavithram ring worn on
the right hand or on the left hand?
Can that be worn always?
Does it have the sanctity in place of Dharbha Pavithram while doing daily karmas?
Pranams and thanks
Srinivasa Dasan
