Dear Chitvish
A nice write up, as usual.
On Kanu day, after keetrafying manjal, we lay out a banana leaf or manjal leaf in the open and serve a feast for the crows and other birds. After circling the leaf with water ( symbolically giving over the food to the birds) we say a small prayer in tamil which has now been shortened to:
Kakkai pidi vacchen ; Kanu pidi vachhen
Kooda piranthavar ellarum enrum nalamaga irukkanum.

Please, can you tell me the full/correct form of this prayer ? Of course, whatever the form, its only the sentiment that counts, still i'd like to know the correct verse.
Thanx and regards
VS

Default அன்புள்ள மோகனா !

பழைய நாட்களில், வாழ்த்துப் பரிமாற்றம், எவ்வளவு அழகான முறையில் இனிமையாக நடந்திருக்கிறது என்பதை எல்லோரும் தெரிந்து கொள்ளவேண்டும் என்பதனாலேயே, அதை எழுதினேன் !
மடலுக்கு மிக்க நன்றி.
அன்புடன்,
சித்ரா.

Default My dear V S !

What you have described is customarly called Kanu Pidi. We pray for our pirandaam & utanpirandhor on that day.
After keeping kanu, we say
காக்காய்ப்பிடி வைத்தேன்; கனுப்பிடி வைத்தேன்;
காக்காயகளுக்கெல்லாம் கல்யாணம், கல்யாணம்.
காக்காய்களின் கூட்டம் போல எங்கள் குடும்பமும் எல்லோரும் ஒர்றுமையாக வாழ வேண்டும்.
The underlying concept is nothing but unity in the family, on both sides, for a woman. We can equate it ti Bhai Dhooj celebrated in North India.
Thanks for joining us.
Love,
Chithra.
