It’s extremely important to embrace your tradition and culture in one way or another on your wedding day. While people from North India do it in the form of donning a chooda or following a certain ceremony, people belonging to the Southern part of India have their own set of cultures and traditions. That’s why today we decided to highlight that one specific culture or practice that the Tamilian brides religiously follow. Yes, we are talking about the traditional yet unique andal kondai hairstyle.
