Tulu Brahmin Wedding Rituals – Final Part
Marriage reception is hosted by the groom’s parents on the next day of wedding,also called as Beegara Outhana.There is unique and special tradition in our side called as Tarakaari Shastra, a small function to determine the number of people coming for the reception.Few vegetables like cucumber,brinjols are cut in a particular manner and put in a big vessel.The main cook prays god and pours water in to the vessel.Priest will pray god and counts the number of vegetables which are looking alike in the vessel.Say if it is 6,then 600 people will attend the function.
On the reception day morning Satyanarayana Pooja will be performed in the groom’s house.Bridal couple start their new life by performing the auspicious pooja.
Reception is just a formal function to introduce the new couple to family, friends and relatives.A wedding feast will be served.Nowadays people also arrange orchestra or some musical programs to entertain the guests.
Fifth day of the wedding again a wedding feast will be served to groom and his close relatives from bride’s family.So a traditional tulu wedding lasts for about 5 days and for whole family its a big celebration time.
