Hi Mannu, thanks for sharing the link! Actually now its Aashada Massam effect all over Andhra because of this heavy discounts in shopping as the next comming is Sravana maasam (best time for marriages) so this has become popular! Hey there is already one thread started with title Kaburlu to speak in Telugu. If you wanna you can discuss about all traditions with all over there. Actually there is one forum started by our dear Chitra mam, in IL. Its Religion & Spirituality ( Religion & Spirituality - IndusLadies ) you can find different topics like Temples, Pujas, Festivals, Spirituality, Religious info and brief articles about our Hindu Culture and Vedanta.
Thanks Senorita, I will join the Kaburlu thread soon...yes am aware of the Religion and Spirituality thread but felt like knowing more about Aashadha Masam in Andhra Culture hence i posted this thread in AP forum.. ManuuRaghuu
All i remember about aashadaa masam since my child hood days is that my mom and myself used to put nice gorintaaaku...ade mehandi...my mom made it a compulsory thing...after I came to US first year I did follow the same..kaanee yento 2nd year nunchi anni stop ayipoyaayi...
Even I remember that my mom used to put Mehandi during aashada maasam. Last year when my in-laws came my MIL and me put mehandi. It was fun. Thisy ear also I bought a cone from the indian store last week. I plan to put the mehandi during weekend.. Typical gaa ayithe, a married girl goes to mom's place during aashada maasam.staying away from husband. but I guess in these hi-tech times it is kind of impossible to do that specially when one is not in India.
