South Indian weddings are full of rituals and traditions that carry deep meaning for the couple. One such is the Pasuppu Kotadam. This ritual kicks off the wedding celebrations. The entire house is cleaned and decorated, and guests are invited to participate. The women of the house take a mortar and pestle and grind the turmeric that is to be later used for the mangalasnanam ceremonies later on in the festivities. It is a deeply significant ceremony, for the women and relatives of the prospective bride/groom take turns to grind the turmeric. In doing so, they bless the powder that would, later on, be used during the pellikuthuru (for the bride) and pellikoduku (for the groom) ceremonies.
It is a time for families to come together and bless the holy union. It is also a time for cheeky brides to take goofy pictures. And we are here for the love and fun, both! Check out some of these heartwarming images from the Pasuppu Kotadamn ceremonies.
