KARKIDAKAM FIRST > JULY 17th...
Started reading Ramayana and Its the third time I am reading Ramayanam....
Karkidakam is a religious month for Hindu and Hindus performs many rituals ...Quite intrestinggg...
On the evening prior to the samkramam there was a ritual ceremony of packing the Chetta, the presiding spirit over dirt, off. Women with broom went around cleaning and dusting and driving out the Dirty thing that hide in corners. Basically, it was a thorough cleansing before the twilight.The chetta is thrown outside the home....After that we use 2 light lamps infront of our home..nearly 100 small lamps which we call in malayalam as "cherathu."
and then we put mehendi in handz...
Another feature of karkidakam is karkidaka kanji which is gud for health...
Evenif staying in chennai I do some of the rituals like cleaning d home , reading Ramayana, karkidaka kanji..etc etc..
Its all very popular in villages and city people dont know all these..
and i will always say..
